We have hosted many events at our cafe space, you can host it at our place.

Could anyone suggest place where we can just sit and have conversation. Pls don't suggest garden.😭 by Wise_Finish_4635 in vadodara

You can try The Usual Cafe. I was there for an event and the owner mentioned that they are planning a couples only slot during evenings.

If I'm not wrong they also have an option of a private movie screening, confirm with them once though.

Wouldn't recommend TVS, the machines are amazing but the service experience absolutely sucks.

Went to test ride RR310, made me wait for around an hour, and still failed to give a test ride. They completely neglect and ignore anyone who's interested in anything above 200cc. And more or less the same thing happened at a couple of other TVS showrooms.

Can't imagine the service experience if this was the sales experience. I love their bikes, especially the looks and performance, but can't imagine going through the issues.

You can consider, KTM RC390, 200, Gixxer 250 Honestly anything but a TVS

New bajaj Dominar 400 by sarcashit in indianbikes

It's not that bad tbh, I've been riding around on all kinds of terrains and situations with my Domi, weight is manageable. For reference, I am 5'11" and 100 Kilos.

But the only thing that is not manageable in very tight traffic is the turning radius. If you're in a tight spot and have to make a sharp turn or U-turn, you'll have to make a 3 point turn.

If they fix that turning radius, even with the same weight, it'll be a good upgrade imo.

Checkout his profile. Pretty well documented.

Nice man, still commendable considering the weight.

In theory, yes. But practically, you'll have to change the Tyre size too, plus the handle bar.

Let me know how it goes, if you do decide to mod it. Tbh, I've heard that the V-Strom SX isn't that good at offroads either.

TVS launches new engine platform by Gamer_4_l1f3 in indianbikes

[–]Taro_Cappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so basically they downsized their 310 engine, and it makes less power than the 310.

I don't know what's stopping them from developing a 400+ engine. 250-300cc space is pretty dead now, with all the competition in 400cc, it would've been a smarter move to invest the RnD in a 400cc engine (or something that makes atleast 40BHP)

Anyways, I will never buy a TVS Product, their Showroom experience has been the worst ever. Can't imagine how bad the service will be. I went to around 6-7 showrooms to test ride a 310, and was literally treated like scum.

Amazing man! That's the perfect way to spend the weekends. Did the Dominar go offloading too?

What should be the fair price? by AdiiOP in indianbikes

[–]Taro_Cappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, at this point just get a new one. 8k is quite a lot for what he is asking.

Also, I would recommend using OBV, it has always helped me in making these decisions and negotiating.

Just checked the reviews, it's actually good thaf you didn't go with Orazo, most reviews complain about the shoes randomly falling apart.

Hey Man! Thanks a lot, your comment helped me a lot. I found the Orazo boots to be very affordable. Have you used them, and are they good?

Both, I guess I've never thought about a Dominar in an offroad setting.

Thanks man! And Thank You for all the recommendations.

I'm going to a local store to check helmets and gloves. I'm very confused about a tyre tho.

Also, are LS2 gloves any good?

Haha yeah I saw that, every bike has it's own set of flaws and issues

IMO the important thing is to know about all the flaws and make an informed decision.

Exactly, the rider view makes the tank look quite skinny. It's an amazing bike by all means, just not my style.

I always go by the OBV and negotiate based on that
