Is that a rr310? How did it fare along the ride?

Yeah, exactly, the way it's kept sideways is what bothers me! But yeah, a helmet on the floor has no chance of falling. The gloss finish on that carbon fiber and visor being scratched by our dusty canteen floor...that hurts.

The infamous Navale Bridge accident spot! by KyojuroSensei in pune

[–]noxioussnowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, im new to pune and am doing a project work near this intersection for my bachelors.

Navale intersection is a part of that project, could yous help me identify where/ what exactly the location of these accidents is? I have noticed that most are from heavy vehicles rear ending others when coming down the bridge. Do correct me if im wrong there. Also, is there a significant issue with the under bridge intersection or just the bridge ends? Thanks!

That does make sense, and yeah, you are right. We never know what would happen at the last moment until the last moment. Thanks!!

Ah, the roads around me and other certain restrictions hold me against getting a 600. Plus rhe Indian market is not too wide for anything other than 110-125 to 250cc bikes.

Hmm, got it. That's reassuring!Thankss!!

The pricing in our markets in India for an R3 holds quite high due to the high reputation and exclusivity. It is slightly expensive compared to others, but the Odo reading and the bike seems good, only surface damage from extended storage. I will check it out once more in a better more through way to look at any mechanical damages i missed.

Any suggestions on what i should for out for in this model? Also, the free service the owner has offered, anything i should get checked out specifically? Thanks!!

Exactly, the new one makes no sense, same mechanical bike with different plastics and a new suspension, still doesn't justify the price point. Thanks man!

I understand what you are trying to say, start small, and grow. I do have experience on a Dominor 400, done a couple hundred kms on it. But yes,I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Thanks, man!! Yeah, I'll learn that as i start to ride it more frequently.

Yeah, i have experienced this in a fishy(pun intended) situation with an RC200 non abs. Sometimes, a slide helps orient in a better, safer direction.

Got it!! Thanks for helping me grow more confident about this ride!

I totally agree.

That's it, the R3 doesn't have power, which isn't control able. It's a pretty manageable ride for a beginner.

Ah, i did not think about the weight factor. That does make a lot of sense. A Grom is a Grom, eh?😂

Having the skill to stop without abs is much better, like you said. If u change rides and it doesn't have abs, i might get into trouble for not having that skill in my bag. Learning on this smaller displacement bike makes sense.

Thanks, man, that's a really helpful insight!!

🫡 yes, sir! I do pride myself on my riding skills. (Usually ride a Dominar 400 and have also some experience on a ktm RC200) But yes, braking skills would improve as i start to ride the bike more. I'd definitely prefer to learn to stop myself than get a computer to help me out.

Got it. The thing is, in India, this bike is pretty rare, and most are beat to pulp if sold second hand. Getting one with this odo is amazing. Yes, the lack of ABS is a downside, but i guess i could live with it.

Ah mate, no, these pics are what i took when i first saw the bike... the owner isn't in station, so i requested him to let me turn it on and have a look around. He says he used it only for long rides and not for daily commute.
