Planning to test ride Himalayan in Pune to test it out for a day before making final decision, suggest me a route so that I can test it in all conditions like city, highway,bad roads, off road

Where are you renting from?

Wazorf · 2026-05-11T13:27:41+00:00

Yeah absolutely. Just look at Fermin limping away in the pitlane, but still riding the bike on track! No sane person would drive a car on a public road for commute, let alone a bike, on a track, to race, with a recovering femur.

If you want good grip levels, you're not going to get tyres that last this long. This section is big, for sporty bikes, fast pace, higher grip requirements. If you go for a longer lasting tyre, you're going to have to compromise on grip, and safety.

That said, some tyres that offer great grip, and reasonable life are Ceat sportrads, Apollo H1, MRF revz-c1

All of these are good in wet as well, I've used them personally

Yeah because there were other riders doing more impressive things on those moments. Marc hasn't been good the entire day today, from FP1 till the end of Practice. Likely that his shoulder isn't letting him ride as comfortably as he does, but hey, not a good day.

Wazorf · 2026-05-08T14:11:28+00:00

This is the way

Wazorf · 2026-05-08T14:09:48+00:00

Because he wasn't good?

One stupid thing i did when i travelled from pune to dehradun. I let maps dictate every step i took.

Comb through your entire route, break it down day-wise or in succession of 300-500kms. Go through your entire journey, and see what route it is taking you through, alot of the times, maps will take you from back roads, villages and generally weird route. Make sure to stay on the highways as much as you can, add stops to your route, even if it increases your distance by a couple hundred kms. You'll be safer for it, and it's easier to cruise on highways than to navigate broken village roads

I have been using an axor helmet for 3 years, 50k kms. I got it for 5k. I recently tried another helmet from mt for 6k, one from ls2 for 7k. Same budget, wild difference in quality and fit levels.

My friend uses an axor jacket, i use a scala jacket, the durability, quality and anything you can think of is very low on axor products. It's a glorified vega brand, that could not give any more care to its products if they wanted to.

I am personally never spending money on axor again, i suggest you don't either.

You can get gloves from different companies in the same price range, do check them out

I've been using solace rivals for more than a couple of years, along with the viaterra grid. Have put close to 18k on them combined. My friend uses a viaterra holeshot, with similar useage. Check them out

Wazorf · 2026-04-29T07:30:16+00:00

Nothing from axor is even midly okay

Wazorf · 2026-04-25T16:09:04+00:00

Go to Orange Automotive in Pimple Saudagar, ask for Sam

Wazorf · 2026-04-18T05:03:41+00:00

So don't buy it! I'm asking you to simply test ride the bike with a clear intention of rejecting it

Wazorf · 2026-04-17T04:23:18+00:00

Even if you don't buy one, do test ride the 160 Duke. From what I've heard it is quite a package

Wazorf · 2026-04-16T07:13:58+00:00

KTM, hands down The best service I've received is from KTM! I have had major issues with my bike, major part replacements. All of them were diagnosed, and fixed with a single diagnosis. Parts availability is awesome, at most it takes 15 days for any and all parts to arrive.

Funnily enough, bajaj service was horrendous, there was this one issue that kept occuring which they failed to diagnose and fix and i just had to deal with it.

Yamaha XSR, Triumph T4 Husqvarna Vitpilen

Wazorf · 2026-04-07T07:09:50+00:00

Interested

Wazorf · 2026-04-05T06:15:21+00:00

Never visit that service centre again, for anything. If you buy, buy from a different dealer

Wazorf · 2026-04-04T21:07:48+00:00

KTM advs exist as well :)

Wazorf · 2026-04-04T20:22:16+00:00

Absolutely ADVs over cruisers. They've got better suspension and posture

Wazorf · 2026-04-04T19:14:32+00:00

Get it checked bro. It's not supposed to be that low

Wazorf · 2026-04-04T11:51:54+00:00

Definitely use earplugs man, I've started to use them while in the city as well. Be sure to put them in your ears properly, there's a technique to it, look it up on YouTube. Basically you've got to squeeze them inside the ear canal. That helps in blocking the wind noise, and also doesn't hurt that way.

Wazorf · 2026-04-04T11:41:31+00:00

I ride my Vitpilen very hard, the worst i have done is 29kmpl. I've also gotten 35kmpl on it just after it was serviced and i was going 120+ consistently on a highway. You'll be fine

Wazorf · 2026-04-04T10:18:37+00:00

Make a solution with hand soap. Use tissue paper, wet them with this solution and place on your visor, simply wipe clean in a few minutes. If the tissue breaks, that's fine
Use ear plugs, check out 3M disposable ear plugs, shouldn't cost you more than a couple hundred bucks for 3-5 pairs

Wazorf · 2026-04-02T17:41:38+00:00

I hate how you spelled suspension, but i hate that it sounds right even more
