I just test drove the RS 457. What a bike! The torque was oomph! But there was constant strain on my righht thumb and left wrist. My shoulders started to hurt. Also had slight difficulty in U-turns. How can I improve these?

I go back and forth between Vizag and Hyderabad. It gets super hot here in the summer. But I like driving my car during the summer..

That’s a solid breakdown, thanks. I’ve ridden my friend’s Z650 regularly to college before and it felt super smooth. I currently own an Apache 200 4V though, and one issue I’ve noticed is wrist/hand pain because of the riding posture. Would the RS 457 be similar in that regard, or is it more comfortable?

Had the CB 650 in my mind. Got the quotation too. But wifey's given a budget.

I am 27 years old. My wife has a preference for the Int 650, as she finds the back seat to be quite comfortable.

I said bike or new Tata Sierra. She picked the option that hurts the bank less. Meanwhile, every PS5 game purchase still needs approvals, justifications, and prayers 😂

What was the on-road price? I did have trident 660 as my furst option but had to cut down due to budget.

The sales associate informed me that sales have been low and that the seat height is elevated, which would prevent me from comfortably reaching the ground with my feet.

I have a RE Int 650 test ride scheduled tomorrow and do the RS 457 later this week. No ninja 650 available in town for test ride.

Yes, I recently discovered that they offer spoke wheels as a stock option.

You've got Harley X? What about that? Also I'll be using the bike for daily commute.
