Can the Bajaj Blade 125’s unique styling help it stand out or will it be a hindrance in the very conservative 125cc segment?
14 January 2025 07:50
It'll definitely turn heads! It could appeal to younger buyers looking for something cooler than their dad’s bike.
Is the lack of ABS on the Bajaj Blade 125 a deal breaker for you, safety conscious rider?
14 January 2025 07:50
City speeds are good enough for CBS. If you need ABS to ride a 125cc aggressively, you’re doing it wrong.
Is the Bajaj Blade 125’s digital instrument cluster overkill for a basic commuter?
14 January 2025 07:50
It’s nice to have, but I wonder about its durability. It is expensive to replace digital clusters if they fail.
Is the Bajaj Blade 125 trying too hard to look like a bigger bike?
14 January 2025 07:50
What I like is that they are taking risks with the design. It’s better to be polarizing than forgettable. It's not another cookie-cutter bike, at least.
Will the Bajaj Blade 125’s high ground clearance actually offer any real use in India?
14 January 2025 07:50
It's overkill. A wheelbase that’s too long will make the bike feel taller and less stable, and most riders won’t need that much clearance.
How does the KTM 690 SMC-R compare when it comes to reliability with its rivals?
14 January 2025 07:50
Its engine is solid, but its electronics can be a bit finicky. It may be a bit of a stretch, but I trust it more than my old DRZ.
Why is the KTM 690 so famous for its false neutral?
14 January 2025 07:50
Are you kidding? When you’re trying to accelerate and all of a sudden you’re in neutral, that’s scary. Dealbreaker for me.
Is the KTM 690 SMC R is it worth the premium price over Japanese supermotos?
14 January 2025 07:50
If you’re just commuting, it’s not worth it. However, if you’re after the ultimate supermoto experience, it’s the way to go.
How long of a distance do you get on the KTM 690 SMC-R?
14 January 2025 07:50
I’d rather tour on a 690 than a big, heavy adventure bike. It’s much more fun and can take anything you throw at it.
Is the KTM 690 SMC-R too much bike for a beginner?
14 January 2025 07:50
Absolutely not! I started on a 690 and it is definitely the best decision I've ever made. It’s super forgiving because of the electronics package.
What will be the right price point for the Avenger 400 if Bajaj launches it?
14 January 2025 07:48
They should price it high at the outset, as KTM did with the 390 Duke at around 2.6 lakh and then bring it down gradually. First create that premium image.
What special features could the Bajaj Avenger 400 have which could make it stand out in the cruiser market?
14 January 2025 07:48
If they went the performance route what then? Adjustable suspension, dual channel ABS with different modes – and perhaps even traction control. A great cruiser that can really handle.
How will the launch of an Avenger 400 affect Bajaj’s current lineup, especially the Dominar?
14 January 2025 07:48
It could actually complement the Dominar, I think. Cruiser fans would love the Avenger, while the Dominar remains the sport tourer of choice. One man's meat is another man's poison.
Will the Bajaj Avenger 400 ever see the day?
14 January 2025 07:48
I doubt it'll ever happen. Bajaj appears to be quite happy milking the current Avenger lineup without any significant investment. With the partnerships with KTM and Triumph, they are probably too busy to cover a new Avenger platform.
How does the KTM 1190 RC8 R perform on the street and on the track?
14 January 2025 07:38
In fact, I actually like it on the street more than some of the other superbikes. Its upright seating position is helpful in traffic.
But what did the discontinuation of the KTM 1190 RC8 R mean for the superbike market?
14 January 2025 07:38
That left a gap in the market for a truly bonkers, no-compromise superbike. It makes everything else seem a bit sanitized by comparison.
How is the KTM 1190 RC8 R different from other superbikes?
14 January 2025 07:38
This is clearly KTM's off-road DNA showing in the riding position. Most other superbikes are more comfortable for taller riders.
What is it that makes some riders prefer the KTM 1190 RC8 R over more popular Japanese superbikes?
14 January 2025 07:38
The adjustability is a huge part of it. With Japanese bikes you can't really make them fit you perfectly, but you can with this bike.
Is the KTM 1190 RC8 R simply too dangerous for public roads?
14 January 2025 07:38
It’s a little bit hypocritical to call the RC8 R dangerous when they still sell the 1290 Super Duke R. It's a wheelie machine, that thing!
What’s the most memorable experience you’ve had riding a KTM 990 Super Duke R?
14 January 2025 07:30
I mean, I guess just commute through the city honestly. It's so much fun to have the torque and agility even in mundane traffic.
