Indians love design of Chopped bobbers, yet there are not many Bobbers in India.

Royal Enfield does make bobbers but they follow different design language.. they’re more bulkier unlike Jawa Bobber 42 & Perak.

It would be a good idea for brands to make bobbers in 650cc segment. With right Pricing & Advertising, Royal Enfield might have some serious competition.

BSA might be able to do that if they’re locked in enough.

working and replacing old or New parts on our own bike is very mentally satisfying. because If you know you know .

I can't trust the service centre. most of them don't do great

finally after soo many days of waiting and soo many discussions over this and sooo many reddit posts regarding if I should actually get it or not. I finally did what needed to be done. got the xtreme 250 to satisfy the kid in my heart. haven't breaked into it yet but close 500 kms already within what 5-6 days of me getting it ? and sure tell me this bike has issues and honestly I've faced some already but I am willing to live with it and I'd like you guys if y'all can drop me some maintenance tips cause I don't want to make mistakes in places I'd not have expertise in.

Hi! I’m from the Philippines, and I just wanted to share my custom Bajaj Dominar 400UG.

I bought this bike second-hand at 2,500 km on the odometer, and now it’s at 25,000+ km. I still love it. it's reliable, comfortable, and fast enough for my needs. It also has a low cost of ownership (both maintenance and fuel consumption), which is a big plus. Another advantage here in the northern Philippines is that it can enter expressways since it’s registered as 400cc (even though the actual displacement is 373cc). As for the weight, I got used to it haha.

Here are my modifications:

- Round headlight with headlight cowl

- Tank body kit

- Relocated gauge to the handlebar (similar to the MT-07 position)

- Ducati-style side mirrors

- Custom dual stacked exhaust

- Eurogrip tires

- Frame crash sliders

- Modified belly pan with added side vents

- Auxiliary lights

- quick shifter

Thanks for checking it out!

2020 model Xtreme 160r 19k driven. Spent almost 30k on service charges alone (I got some parts changed for free under warranty). I do service only at ASC. I drive only in the city 10km/day. I bought this bike because of good Ducati looks and fraud paid youtuber reviews. From the day I bought my life changed. This bike never allowed to stay peaceful.

1. Changed gear spring at 1k. Gear used to get stuck and I thought it was my driving problem (i was a new driver) till my father drove it and confirmed the same. None of the ASC guys identified the issue. I went to 3 service centers in Hyderabad but to no avail. Finally I went to a different city service center they identified the issue. Took 1 month to get a ₹10 spring.
2. Change accelerator cable twice. Used to get stuck. This happened at 500kms. Bike used to go full throttle all of a sudden and get stuck there. Drove to service center twice in Hyderabad traffic in first gear at full throttle. Reached 40kmph in first gear.
3. Changed handlebar switch assembly once at 700kms as switches were stuck. ASC denied warranty for a 1-month-old bike teling switches are not covered. Somehow i made them change it for free.
4. Silencer got rusted within 1 year of purchase. ASC told not covered under warranty. Surprisingly all bikes of this model have rusted silencers.
5. My tank doesn't open properly and gets stuck. ASC told to change entire set - tank cap plus ignition key. Didn't do it as they quoted around 5k.
6. Changed chain sprocket at 9k.
7. Clutch cable thrice. Once cable broke on the road and I had to drive till service center without clutch.
8. changed disc brake pistons once.
9. Changed front suspension thrice. ASC person told all bikes of this model has this problem.
10. Indicator lights die themselves. Changed twice.
11. Recently petrol started leaking on it own. Fuel injector plastic cap broke itself.
12. Service centers are pathetic. Most technicians have minimal knowledge about bike. Service response is also bad.
13. Parts availability is terrible. Even for a simple indicator light I have to wait for 20-30 days.
14. Terrible seat. I used to get rashes and abrasions (literally) in my buttock region. Thanks to this bike Now my skin got thickened. Sitting on the Back seat is hell. My friends straight up refuse to sit on my bike. Pillions complain buttocks and back pain.
15. Only good thing is the peppy engine with great mileage (can get 50kmpl with leisure driving). Looks good.

I was looking to get my hands on a used r3 as a second bike in my garage. These listings are just insane, most of them are on 2nd & 3rd ownership already, At this point im worried about their intellectual capacity on how they arrived at this price lol. Don't be the guy to give in to the hype they create about the old r3 in insta and settle for these types of overpriced deals it's not worth it, spares and repairs are not easy, the bikes are most likely used as a daily driver, changed hands 2-3 times, redlined often. Let these guys keep their bikes made out of gold for themselves. imo these are probably worth around 1.8L max.

It's a Ducati supersport 939, taken on some expressway, probably yamuna expressway.

currently searching for motarcycle under 7L

came down these two

share a owner experience and reviews

NOTE-- OPEN FOR DIFFRENT SUGGESTIONS

Went to JSP motorrad(blr) a few days back to try to prebook the f450gs and ask them info about the estimated launch date for the f450gs and they said even they don't know 💔. They said to stay on the lookout on social media regarding new info about it.

Did anyone else around the country try asking around for atleast a prebooking start date?

So i bought this sexy beast around mid feb.I have been riding it daily to my office which is 10-12kms,heavy traffic in the evening.I ride it to the gym and anywhere i have to go.

For reference- i am a fairly bulky guy, 95kgs and my height is 5’11.

Here’s the review-

Before buying this bike,i checked multiple ownership reviews,youtubers saying it won’t be easy to ride this bike for daily commute,its quite heavy,heats a lot.

From my experience till date, i have zero complaints.I mean sure its a heavy bike,but once it gets moving i can hardly feel the weight.Sure it heats,but just a little more than any other RE’s and it is manageable.The only time i struggle is while taking narrow turns,U-turns but thats the compromise im willing to make for this beauty.I’ve got so many compliments,and i can feel people staring at it almost everyday.

I just have one complaint- the royal enfield service team and customer support team is just a bunch of non-qualified retards who know nothing about bikes.

Should I wait for Yamaha R2 or get the R15M?

What is the estimated launch date of the Yamaha R2 in 2026?

I have a phone holder with anti vibration for which I paid around 1800. it has rubber air cavities and build quality was better too so I thought it's worth the money to save my phone. but Aaj jab us phone holder se video record kar rha tha, then I noticed this wierd vibrations in the video. is this damaging my ois?
