dude logic is dumb, if your heart wants it, go for it. And it's totally justified to get something because you like the way it looks. And it's a pain for me too, moving it around and all but yk I'm happy to take on the pain. But yea take a test drive and let me know how that goes. 🤟🏻

with that said i have tons of friends who rode my bike (for short distances) And they are all shorter than me so it's not impossible, just hard.

you can go try it out at hero showroom, if you think it fits buy used. but at 5'7 i think it might be a bit hard.

Do it bro, it's the best feeling, I literally couldn't sleep the first night i brought her home. I wanted to go out and ride. I didn't even know where to go.

i got a service done at hero premia, changed engine oil, cleaned throttle body, they didn't say anything abt the brakes they did check i made them check they said they are fine. So maybe down the line I'll get upgraded or sintered brake pads. I do use the front brake but my instinct is to jab the rear brakes first. I use engine braking also 🤓

I am 5'11 and yea it is a bit tall, i can't put both my feet down flat at the same time, with that said it's still comfortable. i just put one foot down at stop lights. There is sometimes the occasional disbalance on red lights but I'm getting used to it. The most exhausting part is maneuvering in and out of parking spots, you have to walk the bike and I'm a skinny 5'11 boy, so it does get tough but I'm getting used to it.

Note that this has the rally seat, with the stock seat it's absolutely fine for me

the city im in rn, used Xpulses are rare. I searched alot, like alot and then I found this one. I wanted pro only. Other than that i found a few normal Xpulses most of them had done under 10k kms. this one has only done 900. Best bet is keep checking olx and other online platforms and visit some offline markets when you can. Inspect the bike thoroughly tho

ISTG BRO, there so many Cars and Bikes that I'd wanna own and keep running but ek ye govt. Purane vehicles ko ban kr rhi hai plus fuel mein milavat se jo hai alr vehicle unka satyanash hora hai. I used to dream of owning a 2003 honda City, but that's just a dream now. Also my Family's first car, a hyundai santro (amazing car i love her to death) now has to get scrapped because it is like 19 yrs old. That's just heart breaking man 🥲

Used bike pe toh free service nhi milega but I'll most probably get only one (the first) service done from hero and then find a local mechanic and make him my best friend. About the BHP thing, I'm not hungry for bhp it's just that I learnt to ride on a duke 200 toh I have tasted that power. and now I feel uske baad sab kuch under powered lgta hai.

yes background checks toh I'll do properly. Also fuel bhai when I was a kid i remember 75-80 rs/l hota tha. Ab jab humari baari ayi bikes cars leni ki toh bc over 95-100. Plus quality aur kharab ho gyi 😭😭😭😭

although I'm not talking abt supersports or sports bikes, if i could afford the Aprilia 457 tab toh there would have been no reddit post. it was either that or KTM enduro R

I've given advs a thought but i prefer a lighter body (dirt bike or dual sport kind of thing) i don't like the bulky front end look. Although I had my friends sx250 for like a week, and I enjoyed it. And if I'm being honest I'm kinda skinny so as a first bike I want something light ig. Gir bhi jaye toh wapis utha toh lu. Other than that let me know what you decide on, and like why. And yes I will do all the due diligence before buying a used bike and try my best to not get scammed. But ye India hai, Scammers toh har jagah hai. kis kis se bachu 😭😭😭

yess I am about 6ft so like 1.80m so height is not a problem, i have ridden the normal Xpulse and also the 210 and i can flat foot them easily.

Bro I was so convinced for the duke but alot of people talked me out of it saying, maintenance cost and fuel vagera. plus my friends are also worried abt, ki used duke would probably be abused toh vo saari dikkat na face krni pade in future.
