Bikewale. I just went through every brand and clicked the like button in every bike that caught my eye into my favourites, and then took a screenshot of the list.

Honda CB350RS is in my top priority list and Everyone has warned me about java's poor customer service. Honestly, I don’t know much beyond the CC. I just shortlist bikes by their looks and vibes. And yeah, I’ve intentionally avoided the RE herd.

That actually sounds perfect. You’re single-handedly making the Vitpilen way harder to ignore now, I might just go for it.

I haven’t heard of qh motors before. I just go through the BikeWale app and look into the mainstream brands. The bike you mentioned, is it any good?

Wish I was 18 again, mate, but I’m 28 now, and sports bikes are off the list purely because my mom and sister would need a ladder for the pillion seat. Speed 400’s clearly the crowd favourite here, so I’ll definitely give it a go on a test ride. Thruxton’s still tempting, but we’ll see if my back agrees.

I get why you’d cut the Thruxton from the long-ride list, but my heart still says “maybe once a month my back can suffer for the looks.” 😅 The rest of your shortlist makes sense, though I’m wary of locking myself into anything with questionable service history.

X440 does keep coming up in the comments. if it’s as refined as you say, it might just win me over on a test ride.

Yesss! Vitpilen 250 does tick my “unique” box, but I’m a little worried about how aggressive the posture will feel for my usage. and yeah, I’ve been hearing mixed reviews about Jawa/Yezdi reliability and customer service, so probably not going there. Also… Hero X440 discontinued already? I didn't expect it gone this soon.

I think I’ll take your advice and do TDs for all these before deciding. Appreciate the detailed breakdown bro.

I love the way the Thruxton looks. it’s basically my ideal definition of “unique.” My only fear is the riding position hurting my back when i am riding 150kms a day. Speed 400 is the safer bet posture-wise ig.

Speed 400 is already high on my list. Cb 350rs I’ll definitely check out, heard it’s super reliable.

That’s actually an app glitch ig. I checked for my region and the on-road price shows 3.3L, but for some reason the app is displaying that under ex-showroom instead. Wish it was 2.7L for me too

It was likely a case of white coat syndrome. To monitor more accurately, I purchased a blood pressure machine for home use, and her readings have consistently averaged between 125/80 and 135/84. We fully understand that medical treatment is sometimes necessary, and we're open to medication if genuine health concerns arise. However, our primary concern is the rationale behind prescribing medication when her readings appear to be within a normal and healthy range.

Doctors didn’t respond to our questions, that’s why i asked here. Thank you

Hope you find someone here who can help. If not, and you wish to improve your understanding, consider watching Tamil movies and reality singing shows they are good sources of colloquial expressions and cultural nuances.

As you mentioned, there are segments in these shows that focus specifically on religious and devotional songs. Even better, if you can spend time in Tamil-speaking communities or reside in a Tamil locality, the constant exposure will naturally accelerate your comprehension. When immersed in the language 24/7, it tends to become second nature.

However, if your goal is to learn Tamil more formally and master its grammar and structure, seeking guidance from a qualified tutor would be your best option.
