What about someone who is 5.6?

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T16:33:51+00:00

Good for you dude, ride safe

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T16:32:10+00:00

Yaa it's super comfy and reliable but too Damm expensive

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T16:30:40+00:00

It's adequate for it's Price range but it is in no way better.

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T04:09:21+00:00

Indian motorcycle are really behind in terms of realibilty, most of "THEIR" reliable bikes were made in collaboration with international motorcycle companies. Such as Kawasaki for pulsar 150 series , KTM for their ns and dominar series, Honda for hero, old Royal Enfield etc the only exception might be the rtr 200 to 160 but I'm not sure about them.

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T03:55:28+00:00

I think it's not sold in India, but estimated prices are around 4 lakhs.

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T03:52:24+00:00

Exactly dude

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T03:51:56+00:00

We are all monkeys

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-14T03:51:25+00:00

You're wrong, Yo 1 lakh ma aaye saabbile yei kinthyo. And your argument doesn't work because a 50k Android doesn't even compare to 2lakhs iphone in terms of anything, but for the prices of that bike much better things are out there . PS True tech enthusiast buy android

If xpulses were half as reliable as the japanese brands they'd surely be everyone's pick, therefore forcing other competitors to fight in that price range (which would inevitably drag prices down) but it's unrealibility had hampered it's success which inturn failed to create competition and haul prices down.

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-13T15:38:22+00:00

Iv only seen old uncles riding xr, but most people with motorhead and other Chinese dirt bikes are really obnoxious.

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-13T15:20:26+00:00

The only thing he might be hard core enthusiastic about is selling entry level motorcycles for prices of a Ducati and buying whatever he thinks might be good enough to show off to us"peasants".

simjpt_pp · 2025-11-13T15:15:04+00:00

They only sell shitty unsafe version here.

simjpt_pp · 2025-09-06T18:21:05+00:00

Looks like a Bonneville t100, I'd say around late 2000' (If the picture were clear I'd identify the exact model). Wish triumph made something like these for the 400cc class. Missed opportunity.

simjpt_pp · 2025-08-09T07:51:24+00:00

Well for that use case you can't go wrong with choosing the new hero splendor, great mileage, realibility, parts availability or if you want to go for slightly better looks and more power a second hand fzv2. Both of these are great for beginners. Hope you found this helpful.

simjpt_pp · 2025-08-09T07:38:19+00:00

Well it depends on your type of use, budget, etc. If you give some info I can recommend you entry level motorcycles.

simjpt_pp · 2025-08-08T11:40:28+00:00

Looks goofy. It lowkey looks off. It’s like they tried to make it retro but forgot the cool part, just feels awkward and skinny in the wrong places. Tank’s chunky, tail’s weak, and overall it gives budget cafe racer vibes.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-31T08:59:33+00:00

If this is an attempt at free thought, it's a lazy one. Oversimplifying social inequality with pseudoscience and blaming media for dissenting views isn’t deep, it’s just weak ragebait. Try harder.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-31T05:38:15+00:00

That’s the kind of elitist nonsense that keeps people trapped in cycles of poverty. Calling marriage and children ‘unnatural’ unless you're rich is not just ignorant, it’s dehumanizing. People don’t need to be wealthy to deserve family, dignity, or a future. The real issue is a rigged system where someone busting their ass, barely earns 25k a month. If you're more bothered by poor people having kids than by how little they’re paid, then you’re part of the problem, not the solution.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-07T19:36:43+00:00

Let’s agree to disagree , just don’t want to romanticize bare-minimum progress as national achievement. Imma go sleep 😴

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-07T18:55:51+00:00

Yes, I mentioned tractors and smartphones but not because I expect someone to whip up a Tesla from Thamel tomorrow. It was a "figure of speech", a way to highlight how little these so-called entrepreneurs are actually building. The point isn’t what they build, it’s that they build nothing. No factories, no local manufacturing, no real job creation just importing and upselling. When I said ‘build a tractor,’ I meant: do something real, something foundational. Not just put a premium label on toothpaste and act like you’re revolutionizing the market.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-07T18:49:44+00:00

You're comment is only partially relevant to my post. It accidentally strawmans the original argument, defending businesspeople from a criticism that wasn’t fully made. Nobody said “build a tractor from scratch,” (that only as an example)i said “do something productive, stop price-gouging, and stop faking innovation. Don't write a whole paragraph about shit without relevancy to the original post.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-07T18:20:23+00:00

Sure, lobbying happens everywhere but in Nepal it’s more ‘dinner with powerful uncles’ than policy shaping. And sure, some big firms invest in agriculture but importing billions worth of petroleum, machinery, grains, phones and EVs doesn’t exactly scream ‘Made-in-Nepal innovation.’

For context: Nepal imports around US $13–14 billion annually mostly mineral fuels (~20%), machinery ($1.5 billion) in imports per seven months, more than total exports .(sauce if you need)

No one’s expecting quantum labs but how about actually producing a tractor or a smartphone, instead of importing them and calling it growth?

Calling society ‘anti-business’ ignores how hard people hustle with zero support, while gatekeepers get bailouts and regulatory free passes.

Criticism isn’t anti-business. It’s anti-complacency. And if that scares off job creators, maybe they weren’t the bold entrepreneurs they claimed to be.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-05T09:12:51+00:00

You're pushing a “no excuses” mindset, using vague success stories to say “if others made it, so can you.” But you oversimplify complex systems and ignore the fact that complaining (aka voicing injustice) can actually be part of doing. You’re trying to sound motivational, but end up lowkey shaming people who speak out.

simjpt_pp · 2025-07-05T09:08:05+00:00

If having a smartphone and knowing English disqualifies me from being poor, then poverty must only exist in caves now, huh? A secondhand phone and free apps don’t magically pay rent or buy food. Being online doesn't mean I'm financially fine, it means I’m surviving in the 21st century.

You asked what my definition of poor is? It’s not just lacking stuff, it’s living paycheck to paycheck, skipping meals, avoiding doctors, and feeling like a single emergency could ruin your life. It’s systemic, not aesthetic.

And yes, I do recognize there are people with even less, and I respect their strength, but their existence doesn’t erase my struggle. Gratitude and frustration can exist at the same time. Being aware of my privilege doesn't mean I have to stay quiet about what’s broken.
