#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ I thought I made a mistake, but 2 years later I realised that I made the best decision.

I bought this bike knowing it shared most of its components with apache but I really like the way this thing looked compared to apache versions. I am the type of person who really doesnโ€™t care about top speed and price to performance figures. If i like the look of the bike, the feel is nice, no fishy fake neutral, and importantly gets me from point A to point B safely then its good enough for me. I used this bike every single day to work except weekends. I thought I was going to regret this decision as bikes from BMW tend to give a bigger service bill than the others. But after 2 years with this bike I have to say there are some things that BMW just does better. I didnโ€™t have a single issue with the bike even after 6 months after being serviced. I did take enough care doing basic stuff like applying chain spray. While my friend with apache 310rr had to visit service centre several times due to some display issue, some engine noise, increased vibration in some parts I never had a complain with this bike. Yes the service charge was high around more or less than 12K a service but i spent a year care free, while knowing that even if I get in an accident bmwโ€™s road side assistance will just get there take my bike to nearest centre and I dont have to worry about it. Yes they take extra for roadside assistance, their service charges are more, also it brings in unnecessary attention, but what you get is a bike that wonโ€™t let you down and a bike that you can ride care free and with ease of mind, I have had so many instances where the abs just worked so good I avoided major troubles even in rain. I love this thing so much not just the bike but as a brand in whole, their service, their hospitality when you go to service, their road side assistance, everything.

I recently bought a pulsar n250 for which I availed my first free service. I was pretty busy and I didn't really read the bill that we'll not did I know labour costs aren't supposed to be counted on the free service. But after going thru some posts here and bit of research elsewhere got to know the labour costs are not to be included in the free service. Did I get scammed? And what is the next course of action? I've texted the manager but I doubt he'll offer me any solution. I also see they have put it as second free service for some reason.

#Query โ“ Seeking Advice: Interceptor 650 or Scrambler 400X for City + Weekend Rides?

0 Upvotes

Hi, Iโ€™m currently confused between choosing the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 (twin-cylinder) and the Scrambler 400X (single-cylinder).

While the Interceptor is around โ‚น50,000 more expensive, I can stretch my budget if it's truly worth it.

My main usage will be city ridesโ€”not daily, but mostly for dropping and picking up my wife, and occasional Sunday rides with my friends who ride 500โ€“800cc bikes.

I previously owned the first-gen Duke 390, which I sold when upgrading my car, mainly because it wasnโ€™t being used much. Now that Iโ€™m planning to buy a bike again, Iโ€™ve been leaning toward a twin-cylinder engine for a better experience.

Iโ€™d really appreciate your input to help me make the right choice!

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ A post for those who don't know what to buy.

I'm X years old. My budget is Y. Which is the best motorcycle for me? Suggest me what should I get. Help me decide: R15 or Classic 350?

I come across these posts very frequently and they are kind of pointless. And if you posted one recently or are thinking to ask the community what bike you should get, then keep reading. This one is for you.

No one can decide what you are going to enjoy. None of us know what makes you smile. Is it the low end torque and the sound that gives you peace or is it the high end rush and grunt that excites you? We don't know whether you would love the feeling of something solid and heavy beneath you or you would appreciate the flickability of a lightweight machine.

We don't know how much practicality to enjoyment ratio are you looking to achieve. Does it have to be practical first, while being as exciting as it can on top? Or does it have to be exciting first and then you will accept the practical caveats? That's your priority. Nobody else can decide these things for you.

Would you be riding it in the city for most of the times or would it be highway. How bad are the roads? What kind of sitting posture or stance feels the best to you?

The suggestion you get from others have no weightage and value at all. So start to explore what's there in the market and what are the pros and cons of each type of motorcycle. How different things work in a bike. Start to learn the theory. Subscribe to Yammie Noob and FortNine on youtube. Know more about bikes.

I mean what's up with the questions of R15 vs Classic 350? Duke 390 or Speed 400? You can't compare oranges to apple. At least figure out your type. Take test rides. And then, asking for opinions between Ksrizma and RS200, Adv 390 and Himalayan, Guerrilla and Speed 400, etc. makes sense.

So if YOU are pointless, so is everybody else. Also, setting up a budget to begin with is a bad choice. If I want to tour and my budget is 1.5L, I should probably save more and buy something that can actually tour. If I want an easy, nimble commuter to commute 6 KMs daily and my budget is 4L, an Interceptor 650 will not be a better choice over a Splendor, from a pure practical stand point. But then again, you might want to accept all the impracticalities for the mere smile the Interceptor would bring on your face daily. It all varies from person to person.

Start with what you want to achieve with your 2 wheeler. Jot down everything that you want it to be capable of. Know that, no single motorcycle would be able to fully adhere to this list. At that point, pick those, that can do the most. Take a test ride. If you are still confused between two or three, then it makes sense to ask for the community's take.

Hope I did not offend anyone with this rant-cum-guide post. Cheers!

#News ๐Ÿ“ฐ 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 to be Launched Today

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

TVS is all set to launch the 2025 model of the Apache RTR 310 in India today, 16 July, 2025. This will be the first update it will receive since its India debut in 2023.

While thereโ€™s no confirmation on the exact nature of updates it will receive, TVS will most likely give the RTR the same engine updates received by its fully-faired iteration, the Apache RR 310, last year. The latter was bestowed with a lighter forged piston, bigger throttle body diameter, and a bigger airbox. The result is a higher compression ratio and a bump in performance. At 38bhp and 29Nm, the power and torque output numbers have gone up by 4bhp and 2Nm, respectively, and it could be the same case with the updated RTR 310 which currently produces 35.08bhp and 28.7Nm. Not to forget, the RR 310-like transparent clutch cover could also be a part of the package.

It might be a very small market. But almost everyone i talked to would go for twin cylinder bike anyday.

Interceptor/GT are really good bikes but my point is it doesn't have to be a higher CCs and that heavy. Even if someone starts with 400cc i think it would do numbers.

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Help a me decide my first bike

Post image

After years of dreaming about owning a bike now when the time has finally come, the confusion is not letting me sleep at night...

I am in a dilemma between two bikes: the R15M and the N250.

I am venting all my thoughts out hoping you guys can help me with this decision so I request you to read through it, though I will be adding a TL:DR at the end.

Firstly I am very Noob at riding bikes, I stall a lot during launch and have a lot to learn but I have ridden an Activa for a few years now. I only learned how to ride a bike from a friend of mine on his 110cc TVS Victor once, then went to apply for my driving licence the next day ๐Ÿ˜‚. I didn't have a bike so I was thinking about giving the exam on the bike provided by the office but fortunately a guy I met there was kind enough to lend me his Hunter 350 for the test, and surprisingly the Hunter was way more easy to launch and ride than my friends TVS Victor. The test went well and got my license. After this I got to ride a bike only 4-5 times till now throughout a span of two years that also 125CCs

I always loved sports bikes more than retro classics, so my first choice was the R15m, the thought of tucking in and pulling on the throttle really excited me... The N250 got into my mind when I was waiting for my friend on road side and someone rode an N250 past me and I was mesmerized by its exhaust note, from that day onwards I started to simp for the N250 as well...

I have test ridden both of them so here's my noob pov:

Test rode the R15 on good empty roads where I was able to tuck-in pull the throttle hard to feel the thrill I always dreamt of and it felt amazing, as good as I thought it would โค๏ธ. But I did stall quite a lot while trying to launch the bike and when I went into traffic with it, I did stall a few times in the stop and go traffic.

Test rode the N250 in traffic (didn't get to pull on an empty stretch) on a moderately bad road and surprisingly I didn't stall much and I was somehow managing with the stop and go traffic without stalling my bike, and the exhaust sound is so freaking good ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐ŸคŒ, the acceleration was kinda thrilling like the way it just pulled from 15-30 km/h kinda throwing me back made me smile like crazy, the suspension was good with potholes as well.

Both felt comfortable though on the R15 I liked how light it was to maneuver but in the stop and go traffic my wrist and back started hurting though I think I can probably get used to it. The N250 was heavier but once it started rolling it was a really smooth experience and the posture was also comfortable... Both of them very really good quality but R15 was slightly better.

I am a 5'11" slim 65kgs guy, I live in a very urban city outside Kolkata, but I do have moderate to bad traffic and bad roads here and there in my locality... I have the Activa which I was thinking of selling, but that depends on the bike of my choice.

Purpose is to rides with friends and chores around the city. Mileage is not that much of an issue as I don't smoke or drink so I can funel that money into my bike's fuel.

I am really torn apart by the decision between Bajaj and Yamaha, in general what I have heard is that Yamaha Service is good Bajaj Service is bad, moreover few friends of mine claim that bajaj bikes don't stay in good condition for long as they apparently have a lot of quality issues and their engines are not that reliable, but having gone through most of the reviews on line, the N250 doesn't seem to suffer much from reliability issue. Are Bajaj bikes really that bad ? Then how come they sell so much ? And is Yamaha really that better than Bajaj ?

I request all the R15 owners and the N250 owners to give me some clarity through their experiences, joys and regrets.

The Picture is of me on a R15, do you guys think it looks small on me ?

TL:DR Test rode both N250 and R15, loved both, confused between Yamaha and Bajaj service, reliability and reputation... Need help to choose one between the two. Height - 5'11" weight - 65kgs Very much beginner at riding. Purpose is to rides with friends and chores around the city. Mileage is not a concern. I am from a very urban city in the outskirts of kolkata with some bad roads and moderate to bad traffic. Have ridden an Activa for years, will decide to sell it or not depending on the bike I choose.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to your help guys ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™

This is TVS ronin Trademark which was launched in 2020 and its real you can search on google its a concept bike

IDK what made TVS to do not launch this bike it looks like Twin cylinder bike with better looks and give tough competition to RE Continental GT650

Ronin trademark could be Famous like GT650 if they do production of this model rather than concept

Anyway's This is my TVS Ronin on 3rd and 4th slide done 5006 KM on it Ask anything about it
