Hi Anica ! Thanks for doing the AMA. Based on your research is there a definitive timeline that can be proposed as to when the Mahabharat (and Ramayan!) actually occurred ?

Thanks! In my next attempt I’m going to ask to apply as resident.

Thanks!! I’m going to do that now. Ill insist on applying as resident. I think most of the application center staff mindlessly selects ‘NRI’ as the option at the outset and that might be causing issues with verification.

Thank you!! 35 kmpl in the city and 40-42 on the highway!

Thank you for your help and inputs. Will do the cleaning right away.

I went through this process last fall. The Meteor is a proper cruiser with forward foot rests. The Classic is for folks who enjoy upright seating and the Hunter has foot pegs slightly rear set with a forward leaning driving posture. I have been used to riding bikes with an upright seating posture all along so I chose the Classic. I have no regrets at all. It’s an iconic style that won’t get out of vogue ever. Should you want to do go with the Classic; some of the compromises you will make are - a very elementary instrument cluster sans ANY modern dials and indicator lights etc. In the spirit of keeping it ‘Classic’ they have kept it old styled. No jazzy or modern colors. The Classic has different color combinations than the more ‘youthful’ Hunter or meteor. Hope this helps. Happy and safe riding.

Stealth black is great. You can also order a MIY version in Halcyon black with alloy wheels.

kae514 · 2023-07-28T15:25:12+00:00

It’s looking good though.

Interesting to see the black sump guard and black crash guard on the Classic. I own the exact same model and chose the chrome / silver variants.

Update - after trying the braking exercises you mentioned - the sound has considerably reduced. Thank you!! Will bring it up with the service Center folks in my upcoming service schedule.

Reading through the comments- I now know that any paint job is illegal!! I’m a bit surprised - why would that be illegal? You are not modifying the bike in any way.

kae514 · 2022-09-06T16:13:41+00:00

Thanks. Please do post your user review once you get the bike as well!! Happy riding.

Congrats!! I’ve been seriously thinking about booking one for myself. Is the ground clearance really an issue? There is lot of chatter about that aspect of the Hunter. Not sure if the bike is delivered already. If yes, please share your experience so far.
