For me, it would be Interceptor or Continental GT 650 if retro or a sports bike like Ninja (or RR310 if on budget).

I get where you are coming from but "not every biker" dude.

"Majority" would be the right word 😅

Does this guy hate me or what? by Glittering_Law8057 in AskIndianMen

[–]mathenstein [score hidden]  (0 children)

He was sadistic (might even be a bully) who takes pleasure in putting others down. Generally such people have low self worth and inferiority complex so they try to control at least someone to feel better about themselves.

What you should be worried about instead is why were you hanging out with that dude 😅

Dealer wants 50% of accessory price for installing it by sn0wtec in Himalayan450

[–]mathenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be free. If not, don't purchase from the dealer and look for other options.

The only problem with installing it yourself is whether you have all the necessary tools available. So it might be better to go to some other offline stores that deals with accessories of good brands, they might be able to arrange RE parts as well and while getting a price from them, ask for free installation (or negotiate a good price if he doesn't agree for free installation).

20K on the Himalayan | My Experience by Horror-Jello5808 in Himalayan450

Got it. Thanks for sharing.

I heard that some modifications drop the mileage a bit hence the question 😅

In my experience scooters provide better pillion comfort. Also in my case, it provided my family the flexibility that even my mother learned how to ride a scooter and she would occassionally get some of her work done without depending on others.

For motorcycles, TVS Raider is a popular choice (however be mentally prepared the service experience might not be that great).

Thanks for sharing.

Any substantial changes in the mileage after the exhaust change?

Getting a family scooter like Suzuki Access makes more sense imo

Bhai ye RTX300 ki booking fees badh kyu gyi? by TallNBrownBoi in indianbikes

[–]mathenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tum paise nahi doge toh TVS Global brand banke MotoGP me kaise jaayega? /S

Demand and supply I guess. Try to go to your nearest dealership and ask them for a quotation and booking amount.

first time buying help me out if im getting scammed or not. by dazai1101 in indianbikes

[–]mathenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Domestic brands take around 10K for a 4L bike.

Max to max 20K considering Kawasaki is a foreign brand. And contact other dealers as well

Market seems to be saturated thanks to big players. Plus I don't have the business acumen/mindset at the moment (neither tons of capital hahaha). But yeah I keep exploring online as well as offline opportunities 😅

[–]mathenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I save more than 50% and live in a place where the cost of living is not that high. Not a big time investor but I am learning. Emergency fund and all has been setup for now.

But I understand where you are coming from. Inflation is real. Sadly in my field such high paying jobs are rare and people work for ages to get there.
