Does the Bajaj Chetak 4 stroke have as much iconic value as its 2 stroke predecessor?
14 January 2025 10:46
Both have their merits. The nostalgia of the 2-stroke is hard to ignore, but the 4-stroke is more practical on a day to day basis. Can't we appreciate both?
Does the 'Bajaj tilt' starting technique work on the 4 stroke Chetak?
14 January 2025 10:46
In fact, tilting still comes in handy sometimes, especially for cold weather. It's maybe just psychological though.
Is the Chetak 3502 TecPac's steel body more durable than that of its competitors, or is it just heavier?
14 January 2025 10:41
I like the huge plus of the steel body. I don't feel like I'm going to smash it against the ground, or that if it does it will be more damage than a minor scrape or a fall.
The under seat storage on the Chetak 3502 TecPac is a 35L which begs the question: Is that much storage on a scooter practical or excessive?
14 January 2025 10:41
I think the idea is great but I'm worried about security. If the lock isn’t robust, that’s a lot of valuable stuff that could be stolen.
Is Bajaj’s retro design of the Chetak 3502 TecPac a hit or a miss?
14 January 2025 10:41
I think Bajaj nailed it. Older folks who remember the original Chetak are lured by the retro design, while younger riders by the tech features. Smart move.
Does the Chetak 3502 TecPac’s 153 km range fix range anxiety or is it still an issue?
14 January 2025 10:41
I still get anxious, but it's better than most. But what if I forget to charge one day? Do you ever have to make an unexpected trip, or need to? 200+ km range would make me more comfortable.
Is the 5-inch TFT display of the Chetak 3502 TecPac useful or just a gimmick?
14 January 2025 10:41
It's overkill for a scooter. What I’d rather have is a simple, reliable display that just shows me speed and battery level. Less to go wrong over the long run.
The ride quality of the Bajaj Chetak was unique, what made it so?
14 January 2025 09:20
It was more like a motorcycle seating position. For longer rides I found it more comfortable than modern step throughs.
What is it that makes people still prefer the 2 stroke Chetak over modern electric scooters?
14 January 2025 09:20
It's all nostalgia. Electric scooters are cleaner, quieter and more efficient than their modern counterparts. The Chetak is outdated.
What was the reason people turned the Bajaj Chetak before starting it?
14 January 2025 09:20
I do think it was more of a habit than a necessity. Yes, it probably did help on occasion, but people did it anyway, even when it wasn’t necessary.
Was the Bajaj Chetak really as reliable as people said it was?
14 January 2025 09:20
Absolutely! The Chetak ran for over 20 years with just basic maintenance in my family. You don't see 'em making 'em like that anymore.
How did the Bajaj Chetak impact Indian culture and the Indian society?
14 January 2025 09:20
For many middle class homes, it was the first 'family vehicle'. My whole family of four remember us squeezed on our Chetak!
How good is the after sales service of Bajaj BYK 100 when compared to the established players?
14 January 2025 08:46
You don’t just want the number of service centers, you want the quality of the service. If they can guarantee a good service at all times throughout their network, then they can even top the established brands.
Does the Bajaj BYK 100 meet the fuel efficiency promises in the real world?
14 January 2025 08:46
The issue is that everyone's 'real world' is different. Highway cruisers will see much lower figures than city riders. Bajaj should be more transparent about the conditions under which they test.
Is the Bajaj BYK 100’s performance enough for occasional highway use?
14 January 2025 08:46
The problem isn't really speed, it's safety. The BYK 100 may handle on the highway, but do you really want to be on a little bike when you’re surrounded by trucks and cars flying by?
Is the Bajaj BYK 100 the game changer that budget commuters have been waiting for?
14 January 2025 08:46
Considering I've test ridden the BYK 100, I've got to say it's pretty impressive for the money. It's solid feeling quality, and the features are as good as more expensive bikes. It could certainly make a difference.
Will the Bajaj BYK 100’s unique design be an asset or a liability to its sales?
14 January 2025 08:46
It’s a gamble, but it’s a gamble worth taking. If the bike does well, the design could become its signature, just like Bajaj’s Pulsar became known for in the sports segment.
Can the KTM 1290 Super Duke R actually handle long-distance touring?
14 January 2025 08:25
If you set it up right, it’s actually not bad for touring. I’ve added a small windscreen and some soft luggage, and it’s been great for weekend getaways. The comfort seat helps a lot too.
Is KTM's 1290 Super Duke R worth the big premium price tag?
14 January 2025 08:25
If you think about the components and engineering that goes into it, though, it’s a lot of money, but it starts to make sense. That monster engine, WP suspension, and Brembo brakes don’t come cheap.
In real-world riding, how does the KTM 1290 Super Duke R compare to its competitors?
14 January 2025 08:25
I've ridden most of the big naked bikes, and the Super Duke R just feels different. It’s just so much more character on the V-twin compared to the inline fours, and the chassis is so nimble for a bike that’s so powerful.
