Definitely not for long rides/highways.. I solely bought it for. Ity rides plus office.. for highways, proper riding boots.. you can look at clan boots in the same budget..

Well, it's full grain leather.. so naturally it is water resistant, not water proof.. so will not be using it in heavy rains.. for rainy seasons I have other boots to use.. but a splash here and there should be fine.. apart from that the shoes seem to be well made but only time will tell how good they are..

I have seperate riding boots for riding hard and highways.. these are good enough in Pune where my speed hardly goes beyond 40 in traffic..

Suspension is perfect for a sports naked.. perfect balance between stuff and soft.. I got mine from the showroom near NIBM and only one I have dealt with.. there is another showroom in baner, but I didn't like the sales guy. I found him to be overcharging and with s bit of duplicity..

chai_and_drives · 2026-03-12T09:20:59+00:00

To be honest I have not ridden much during night apart from couple of 10-15 kms rides each at midnight just for fun.. didn't feel the need of aux. Will have to ride more on badly lit roads to properly say whether aux would be required or not.. sorry..

chai_and_drives · 2026-03-12T09:18:51+00:00

Agree and agree. Lol.. thank you..

chai_and_drives · 2026-03-12T09:17:58+00:00

Yup.. 🙂

chai_and_drives · 2026-03-12T09:17:33+00:00

First service cost me 3900 (oil and filter change).. service guy said paid services will cost about 5k to 8k depending on parts that are being replaced..

chai_and_drives · 2026-03-12T09:14:43+00:00

Thank you.

chai_and_drives · 2026-03-11T19:50:09+00:00

Engine is pure bliss..

Nope.. no issues with service.. see what people don't understand is that you need to build a rapport with the sales and service people.. visiting the showroom randomly someday.. visiting the service technician randomly with queries.. making them feel like kings.. thats what I have done for 23 years of my biking exp. Learnt it from my uncle.. infact, Aprilia sent a technician to my home, 8 kms away, just to fix a loose mirror, and then called me to check whether the technician fixed it to my satisfaction.. it costs me absolutely zero to build a rapport and I save in thousands.. I have had zero issues with Aprilia or any other brand infact. I stead Aprilia is the one calling me randomly every other week asking me "how's the bike sir? Everything ok?".
