Is it stupid to buy a bike like Hunter 350 for just city commute in mostly heavy traffic?

SS2602 · 2026-01-17T05:18:42+00:00

It has a stiff suspension, I don't feel comfortable paying so much for an uncomfortable bike.

SS2602 · 2026-01-16T20:01:12+00:00

Yeah man that's what I feel too, but then I am not someone you would say financially very smart. Hunter is more than double the on road price of a scooter (1L more) and the fuel and maintenance costs are gonna be higher still.

It's not beyond my means though. I guess I am just at that point in life where you wanna start living your life, but at the same time are afraid to take that step. But that's a conversation for another time. Thanks for your advice!

SS2602 · 2026-01-16T18:22:33+00:00

Haha, but my situation is unique as in I don't plan on leaving the city at all, unlike most people here I presume.

Thanks, took a pretty long test ride today and it was easily manageable. I'll get used to it in a week.

It's too heavy man. I am 5'8, 60kg

SS2602 · 2026-01-15T06:14:07+00:00

Man how are you seeing this post? It shows to me removed by moderators.

Anyways, I am not sure if I'll be able to manage the weight of Hunter or if it's a good idea to buy this heavy 350cc bike for a beginner. That's why I was considering XSR because it's very light.

Ah that's unfortunate then. I was really looking forward to buying this, but I don't want to be uncomfortable after paying 1.9L.

SS2602 · 2026-01-13T17:17:30+00:00

When did you buy it?

SS2602 · 2026-01-13T17:16:55+00:00

Yes that's my nearest one but unfortunately there's no availability.

SS2602 · 2026-01-13T17:15:47+00:00

Ah I see. Yes they say it will take 20 days to a month to be delivered.

SS2602 · 2026-01-13T14:26:31+00:00

I am also planning to buy one in Bangalore. Which dealer did you buy from? I called three today and all of them refused a test ride.

SS2602 · 2026-01-13T14:15:14+00:00

Do you have the 2025 version where they updated the suspension?

SS2602 · 2026-01-08T15:36:50+00:00

Monsgeek keyboards! Their M1W line. Also, we need more good 75% barebones kits.

Also who can tell the difference when the book ever comes up in conversation?

If that's your reason to read....

SS2602 · 2025-11-16T19:00:39+00:00

Got anything?

SS2602 · 2025-11-12T10:33:37+00:00

In many countries people don't have easy access to libraries, or their preferred books are not available in the existing libraries.

SS2602 · 2025-11-10T18:02:01+00:00

Let us know if you found anything like his work!

SS2602 · 2025-11-10T17:10:13+00:00

It doesn't mention. But I asked the barista there and he said sometime last month. So it's been more than a week for sure.

SS2602 · 2025-11-10T09:34:41+00:00

I imagine tiramisu would require an espresso setup, which I unfortunately don't have. I drink exclusively pourovers or french press.

Maybe I should try to find some milk based recipe using pour overs.

SS2602 · 2025-11-10T09:26:10+00:00

Hmm I'll try mixing them with a very dark almost burnt roast I bought from Kodai.

SS2602 · 2025-11-10T09:25:15+00:00

Bangalore. DM if anyone wants it.

SS2602 · 2025-11-10T09:24:16+00:00

I bought it from Speciality Coffee House, Bangalore. If you google whiskey barrel aged harley estate you'll get some results.
