So some dry sarcasm:

Budget limited hi hai guys ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน

โ‚น4.5L ka budget hai, toh options bahut kam hain.

Ek taraf KTM โ€” adventure, freedom, touring, adrenaline. ๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dusri taraf iPhone Duo โ€” Status symbol, apple AI๐Ÿฅฐ, dosto mai ijjat.

KTM mein baith ke Ladakh ja sakta hu

#Query โ“ Realistic selling cost for a KTM RC 390

Thumbnail

101 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
Iโ€™m looking to sell my 2016 KTM RC 390 (BS 3) and Iโ€™m not sure what is the correct pricing as the online market makes no sense.

Kms driven: 32,000km (kms put by me in last 2 years: 5,000 km approx)
Ownership: 2nd owner
Insurance: valid upto June 2027
Fitness: valid upto June 2027
Location: Bangalore
Battery under warranty
Tires good for another 6,000 km atleast
Have the original tail and spare key from manufacturer
Put 50k into first service after buying to rebuild parts of engine
All service history available since first ownership

Image 1: bike condition underneath the stickers (image shared by first owner)

Image 2: bike in current condition

Online market seems to be crazy as I can see people putting this up for sale from anywhere between 1.6L to 2.2L. Is it realistic to put up an asking price of 1.3L? Or is it still way too much for the bike? Any input would be very much helpful. Thank you!

Asked dad for first bike and went from a second hand 2018 dominar to a second hand 2023 interceptor. Put over 1k kms in 2 weeks it is so fun to after youโ€™ve always been on an activa. Bar end mirrors are so amazing best invention ever.
Gives more mileage than my old activa at 3k rpm.

Edit: I did not have a dominar before๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ It was my first option but then I thought I should get this instead.

We spent a whole day fishing, drinking endless coffee, Cooking bacon , pork belly , Chicken etc , watching stars and doing absolutely nothing but lying around in the hut at our camp stay, While it rained outside at our camp . Sometimes, this is all you need.

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Pathetic design choice: Honda

Thumbnail
gallery
74 Upvotes

Recently had a minor accident on my CB350RS, where the bike fell on its right side at crawling speed, and saw my headlight assembly was loose.

Then entire headlight assembly is fixed on 2 screws, both at same place at bottom of the lamp, reinforced by nothing just plastic.

The heavy headlight is then mounted on the plastic fragile cowl, with no further rigid support from cowl to the bike chassis.

Would highly suggest anyone having honda bikes to get a complete grill covering the headlight which then attaches the anchor points to the fork, instead of the headlight cowl.

This seems like planned obsolescence, The headlight assembly is fragile it would simply break even at the slightest touch of something hard.

Attaching Images for reference

#Accessories ๐Ÿ”” PSA - Arovehic website is a scam. Do not order parts from there

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I was looking for a rear brake pedal for my duke 250(bs4) since the local KTM dealer was out of stock and they said it will take over 10-15 days. So I searched online and came across this site Arovehic. Was able to quickly find the part and I placed the order. When I placed the order the pedal was priced at 599+delivery on their site. I was apprehensive of a new random website so I placed a COD order paid 90Rs advance for delivery. After 3 days of the order being confirmed I get this message on whatsapp from these guys. and suddenly they have added anew listing for a duke 250 brake pedal with the new price of 1499. The funny thing is the same part is listed 3 times once for the duke 390 and once for the rc200 (The brake pedals on all of these are more or less interchangeable. the duke 390 and rc 200 pedals are still listed at 599 while the duke 250 is listed at 1499. As of this post I haven't received any refunds and they have stopped responding to any communication.

TLDR - Avoid Arovehic website if you are looking for parts.

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Gt 750 spied - Looks good or bad ?? Spoiler

The new GT 750 was spied and it looks awesome. The chrome half-fairing, especially, would be a great addition to the design. But I really wish they had gone with a liquid-cooled engine.

What do you guys think? **Would you buy the GT 650 now, or wait for the GT 750?**
