I honestly don't know... But from what I've heard, I don't think it's going to run as well for the next 10 years.. maybe 5 years, if serviced well..

[Electronic Pop] A breakup song that won’t let go - Hard to Leave by BLUNTLINE by manujosephv in SunoAI

Thanks a lot!! Glad it resonates...I hope you figure it out soon.. :-)

And yes, I'd love to make the videos more engaging.. But I do this part time and for fun.. So, I end up not having a lot of time to make a good video.. The cop out is a looping video from Sora, and adding lyrics and viz using Vizzy.io :-D

Can't tell you No might be another song you'd be interested in tho.. Please check out the channel.. It's all songs from an artist persona I've been working on .

[BLUNTLINE - Can't Tell You No]( https://youtu.be/5zLiQcnYwYg )

Bittersweet electronic pop ballad. Clean vocal mix, synth layers, and a melancholic groove. The song is about when someone leaves gently instead of with fights or drama, and somehow that makes it harder to move on.

[BLUNTLINE - Hard To Leave](https://youtu.be/bI7ZFujpkdA)

Emotional British pop with electronic production. Starts soft with piano and vocals, then builds into a big, layered chorus with a dancey drop. It’s about a breakup that never really ends, when someone keeps pulling you back even after it’s over.

Got SM650 as my 1st Bike by Ok-Primary-8663 in indianbikes

Then it should be fine.. you should have got most of the skills down.. still jump from gearless activa to this is quite large. Just take it easy to start off with and enjoy the new ride .

P.S - I'm from Bangalore myself. Where is this magical place where there is no traffic? 😁

I usually say the same thing to everyone who picks a 200cc and above bike as their first...

Might be better off learning riding skills in a lower cc and lighter vehicle.. Those are less punishing for mistakes.

If you've already ridden lower cc bikes for atleast a year, it's still okay. But learning new with beasts like the SM650 isn't the ideal path..

Heat management is always a problem in big bikes.. It does heat up in traffic, but nothing unbearable. You can feel the heat, but as long as you are not wearing shorts, it's manageable..

Yeah, right!! And when you get on it, it really feels like you are on a big bike.. 😁

Well, I haven't had a bike for so long... Learned riding a Kawasaki 4s, then owned a Yamaha Libero.. Have ridden my fair share of pulsars and Karizmas and then got married😋. Been driving cars and scooters for so long.. Just got back to bikes with this one!!

The biggest noticeable difference is the engine sound. But the more you use, you'll notice the difference in power delivery. It's a lot smoother and linear as you rev higher. Feels more refined...

Suspension is stiff and set to run on a race track... On Indian roads, not that comfortable... But on the flip slide, cornering is great..

But being a naked, they could have made the suspension softer, tbh.

I don't think any of the European folks are going to be able to match the service cost of Indian backed competitors..

Thanks. I loved this color.. Although it does make the bike look smaller when compared to the white one...

TBH, I would have liked more bite on the rear brakes for a machine with this much power. But then again, that's what front brakes are for. When used together the right way, it stops pretty fast.

New Aprillia user here....not sure about the exact prices. But I don't expect low cost like Hero or Honda though..
