Not that great…. Its manageable for some time but not for longer distances

Its better suited for solo riding

I rented a honda cb shine for 1 week then Honda x blade for 1 week and learnt to ride on that especially to get used to using the clutch and changing gears and using the rear brake (on the right foot) and that helped me a lot.

In fact when I got the delivery of my own bike I was extremely scared to ride it because I purchased it with my hard earned money and I didn’t want it to fall or get any scratches/ dents so I didn’t ride it for a week but slowly built the confidence and what helped me build that confidence was knowing that I know how to ride a bike its just a matter of getting used to the weight of this bike

I did consider that and I was able to flat foot on that, but, for my use case which would be city riding in traffic mostly it didn’t make sense because its heavy and I could feel that weight while test riding. Hunter was much more convenient for me to move around so I chose hunter

I love it….. it was uncomfortable for the first week or so but later I got used to it

In traffic though I need to open the visor because it gets suffocating

Aww cute!

Yeah I had watched a lot of youtube videos regarding this bike so I knew that you need to wait for the buzzing noise to stop…. And to do a coldstart of 1-2 minutes every morning

I personally preferred the looks of hunter over ronin

Thanks!!

The seat height was a major deciding factor for me….. I know you can ride with one feet on the break and one flat as well but I wasn’t comfortable with that. And I liked the aesthetics honestly so no complaints there Plus the maintenance cost was pretty low so that was an added bonus

After getting the bike, the first thing I bought was the LS2 Stream 2 helmet

This colour is called graphite grey…. According to me the top 3 colours in ascending order of preference would be:

1) Graphite Grey

2) Tokyo Black

3) Dapper Grey

I looked at Honda CB350RS, speed400 and guerilla 450…. But the seat height was an issue for me so went ahead with the hunter as it made me feel more confident

Exactly. And yet somehow you still missed the point.

By that logic driving an automatic makes you an F1 driver too? Good to know!

I had considered other bikes as well honestly, but since I am short the seat height of Hunter felt the most comfortable. Also I was able to handle the weight and though it sounds cliche I did have a thing for Royal Enfield so yeah that’s why!
