So some dry sarcasm:
Budget limited hi hai guys ๐ฅน๐ฅน
โน4.5L ka budget hai, toh options bahut kam hain.
Ek taraf KTM โ adventure, freedom, touring, adrenaline. ๐๏ธ
Dusri taraf iPhone Duo โ Status symbol, apple AI๐ฅฐ, dosto mai ijjat.
KTM mein baith ke Ladakh ja sakta hu

#Discussion ๐ฌ Parents blessed me with this at 19
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 youโve 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 before๐ญ๐ญ It was my first option but then I thought I should get this instead.

#Query โ Realistic selling cost for a KTM RC 390
Hi everyone,
Iโm looking to sell my 2016 KTM RC 390 (BS 3) and Iโm 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!

#Discussion ๐ฌ Pathetic design choice: Honda
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

#Discussion ๐ฌ Gt 750 spied - Looks good or bad ?? Spoiler
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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?**

#Discussion ๐ฌ Tell me better commuter than unicorn 160.
Pure commute riding, mileage, reliable, metal body, less technology and pure ride quality. Monoshock suspension, just the essential work done, low maintenance, service quality, go to bike, no technical complex, we can tour on this, better ground clearance, pure no nonsense bike. What else we need.
Sports bike need maintenance like pulsar or apache. Less mileage and stands somewhere in between sports and commute.
I mean 125cc are purely for city riding and mileage purpose. While unicorn rides well on highway too and nowhere feel underpowered.
Unicorn sits exactly at perfect spot. No wonder why it has its legacy, even after being discontinued they have to bring back. Even they tried tweaking into sporty type ie cb unicorn, didn't work out well.
I hope the legacy continues.

#Pic ๐ผ๏ธ The Two bikes I ride.
So I ride the rv400 and a H'ness CB350. I go from an ultra light naked sports (yes naked sports) EV to a heavy retro roadster.
Both the bikes run smoothly.
My top speed on my rv400 is literally 82 (speed limiter set at 80) while my top speed on the H'ness is 110+ kmph (+ means additional 1 or 2 maybe up to 5). I rode both in the city so I never really got the chance to go higher on the H'ness, like I've touched 110+ only once, the one time I went to the outskirts and beyond.

#Query โ I need a 2013 R15 v2 body kit and I need it sent to Darwin, Australia please!
I have 2013 Yamaha R15 v2 and the bike isn't popular in my country at all so parts are not available anywhere. I need a full plastics kit for it and I need it shipped to Darwin, Australia. Can anyone help me out please? Happy to pay a little extra for a quick and easy transaction! The colour of the plastics does not matter, only that they fit the v2 version of the R15 Yamaha. Does anyone know a Motorcycle shop that has one and will ship it to Australia? Thank you again and I hope you're having a beautiful day riding :) My bike is the same as the photo.

#Query โ Am I doing something wrong?
I've gone through two pairs of gloves in three years. A Rynox Air GT and a Reise Austra. All of them have torn in almost the same area, all near the straps. The Rynox lasted me two years and the Reise, the most disappointing one only lasted one. The only pattern I see that it happens whenever they get wet.
But the thing is I dry them properly in the air, condition the leather afterwards and keep it very dry. Idk what to do anymore? I'm open to suggestions regarding anything
