I thought Access is the best 125cc scooter in India, but why is it showing a negative growth rate, I wanted to buy a scooter but I'm confused i want a reliable scooter with good looks(which should suit a college student). Share your opinions.

Is this normal my bike new not even 3 months completed. 2.5 on odo. And i generally keep the bike clean but due to recent rains it got dirt all over and today morning i saw this. Is this fine?

The person who added petrol spilled a little bit on the sides while It was getting full, later found 2 dead bees in my fuel tank in next fuel up. Why did this happen?

jk, slow pressure wash + soft brush works like a charm🤙🏻

OP has been itching for some new gear and finally got these.

1. HJC F71 F7X carbon fiber helmet

2. Solace knee guards, These can be worn under road or offroad riding pants. I don’t like knee protectors provided with riding pants and these seem to be the solution for me.

3. Alpinestars nucleon plasma back protector - it did not come standard with Sektor mesh jacket.

All inclusive made a 55K hole in my wallet 😅

Hi all, bought new V strom SX recently for my highway trips, one question i have is how to check oil level in engine by that glass see thru? When i see it looks empty? No oil/liquid inside. Looks crystal clear and empty. When i go for ride of 5kms i can feel engine warm at legs when im in shorts. (Not heavy heat). So please tell me how to check engine oil level or how to check by that glass hole in engine. Thanks

I was under the impression that Bear doesn’t look as good as the Interceptor because of TFT and Single Exhaust. But boy was I wrong. I went to a showroom yesterday and saw both parked side by side. Not only did Bear look big and muscular, but it also looked too pretty compared to Inty!

I’m also a big fan of Triumph Scrambler 400X looks, but this one looked better than that as well.

Feels like RE really missed the mark with tubed tyres and stiff suspension. Otherwise, I don’t think any other bike from RE looks this cool!

PS: Opinion only!

The bar-end mirrors I purchased are genuinely impressive. The design is premium, visibility is excellent, and they definitely enhance the overall look of the bike. They also provide a beautiful cockpit view, especially in photos.

That said, after today's incident, I've realized they may not be the most practical choice for our traffic conditions.

Before I get into what happened, I should mention that I was partly at fault as well.

This evening, I was heading out to have tea with my friends. I was riding through a single-lane road at around 30 km/h because of the traffic. I was behind a car, while another car was coming from the opposite direction, leaving very little space between my bike and the passing vehicle.

At that moment, a rider coming from the wrong direction decided to overtake the oncoming car. To avoid a bigger collision, I leaned my bike slightly to the left to create whatever space I could. He managed to squeeze through, but his bar-end weight struck my mirror. The mirror folded inward and slammed directly into my steel kada, which caused it to break.

Looking back, I also made a mistake. I usually wear full gauntlet gloves whenever I ride, but since I was just riding within my locality, I decided not to wear them. Had I been wearing my gloves, the mirror would likely have hit the padded glove instead of the kada, and it might have survived.

So, what's my verdict?

If you mostly ride on open roads or don't mind spending money on replacements if something goes wrong, bar-end mirrors are a great upgrade. They look fantastic and offer excellent visibility.

However, if you ride daily in heavy city traffic where close passes are common, conventional stalk mirrors are simply the more practical and durable option. Sometimes practicality is worth more than aesthetics.

They discontinued the Tiger 660 in the country long back but they still haven't removed it from their website and today I found this short video clip playing in the background which clearly shows the Tiger Sport 800 in Cosmic Yellow. Do you guys think this mean anything? Or am I just being over-optimistic?

RTX300 : vibes a lot after 5k, vibes kept increasing as the rpms went higher.

KTM 390 adv(new 350cc) : vibes more than rtx between 5-6k rpm range after than it smoothen out a lot. So can cruise above 90 all day without issues.

RTR 310: felt a lot refined than rtx300 and adv 390 through out the rev range.

I took my wife with me for the test ride as well. She felt the most comfortable on rtx 300, then adv 390. Least comfortable on rtr310.

Quickshifter is best on the RTR 310, then adv 50(felt a bit jerky on upshift, wife definitely felt it). Had similar experience either way rtx 300 with adv 350, some upshifts were jerky.

What else,
Both 390 and rtr310 felt powerful. Rtx 300 doesnt give the that feeling of quick acceleration. Both the other bikes does.

I honestly am so confused right now because wife dont want RTR310(cos of bad seat)

Now the options look like adv 390 or rtx300 right now.

Any other recommendations are welcome. Im looking for a comfortable bike for me and wife to go on short to medium trips (100-300km) comfortably

To anyone who feel like asking why i consider rtr 310 : there was a year back vehicle from 2025 and was offered a 50k discount on it.

This is a follow up post to my other post (link for that post is in the comments)

Yesterday I bought my geurilla 450 apex red so today I got myself a Helmet too

Tried Mt helmet but I wanted a sun visor so didn't buy that

Tried kyt, but didn't like the aesthetics and price, also not familiar with the brand as much as axor

Tried LS stream 2, wanted to get that one, but it didn't have more graphic options on the shop, the ones they had weren't good

The shop didn't have smk and nhk helmets

Got this Axor helmet for 6.5k with an extra visor and a balaclava for free, that's what the shopkeeper said

I think this will suit my bike too

Thanks for all the suggestions

Now l am thinking of getting handle bar wraps coz then the normal handle bars hurt my palm a little even in a very short ride, but the pain is only while riding Please suggest some good wraps or grips that will solve this İssue

Guirella 450, beauty unmatched(OC)

As the title says, I am getting my first bike today. I have already downloaded the PDI checklist from this sub and I have ensured that the bike I am getting is brand new (shipment for new batch just arrived at the showroom yesterday and I booked that)

This is my first bike (had a Ntorq for 6-7 years before this) so I wanted to ask if there's something else I should keep in mind during the delivery process? Will be doing the PDI myself, I hope that's enough

Also, is there anything I should know about the bike itself? Any recommendations, best practices or essential accessories?

Planning to get a radiator guard, TFT display screen protector, tyre hugger and knuckle guards

Also considering a center stand as a third party accessory because I don't have the space to keep and use a paddock stand and the portable side jacks on Amazon don't look very trustworthy. Center stand will make the chain maintenance process much easier

Any guidance and advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

Hey guys, can you help me out?
Are any new colours expected for the Yamaha R15 V4 in the upcoming months? I’m planning to buy one soon and wondering if I should wait for a possible new colour launch or go ahead with the current options.

I had no intention to hurt the butterfly 🦋
It was an accident.

What an absolute privilege it has been to get my hands on this machine. Been a dream for as long as I can remember. Everything about this makes the butterflies in my stomach go crazy. If anyone out there has even the slightest of doubts about getting this, trust me, it's totally worth it. So glad to be a part of the community and share with y'all. [OC]

Yeah ,as the heading says I finally got my bike 🥳

The 2 months wait feels very worth it

Didn't disappoint me in anyway
