KTM 390 Adventure. Finally Home ❤️😎🏍️💨💨💨💨💨

A while back, I had asked here about the best Packers & Movers to transport my Striple from Lucknow to Bangalore.

The overwhelming response was basically: “Just ride it yourself.” So I decided to take a leap of faith and couple of days off from work and actually rode it all the way for 2095 kms.

Route I took -

Lucknow --> Kanpur --> Jhansi --> Sagar --> Nagpur (Day 1)

Nagpur --> Hyderabad on NH44 (Day 2)

Hyderabad --> Bangalore on NH44 (Day 3)

The portion between Jhansi and Nagpur was the worst due to bad roads and heavy rains. The bike held superbly although got extremely dirty. NH44 was good with a bit of construction and rough patches here and there. Apart from it everything was good. T

Cost-

I burned around 14.1k worth of petrol and got an average mileage of 17kmpl (A bit low due to too much traffic in Hyderabad and Bangalore)

In addition to this got my bike cleaned and coolant topup at the service centre for 1k in Hyderabad.

Flight tickets :(

Things which I could have done better -

Taken one more stop between Lucknow and Nagpur (the full stretch was ~900 kms which I believe was too much)

Should have got my bike cleaned at Nagpur. (The radiator was so dirty that there was no proper cooling due to which the bike got overheated in Hyderbad and a bit of the coolant leaked)

An amazing experience as I would describe, a bit tiring though but worth it as there are no scratches, damages on the bike and it is in perfect condition which brings me peace of mind....

Recently i was taking my friend as a pillion. When i reached destination, i stopped my bike and switched it off usuing engine kill switch (which i always do). But my friend saw this and suggested me to use key for doing so. When i asked him he reason he didnt tell me anything, just said "it is better way". Then i researched a lot and found mixed videos making me confused more and more.

I request fellow riders to suggest me the best way of switching off my bikes engine.

Hold on to your seats guys! Suzuki now has finally updated their Gixxer 150/250 lineup by adding...get ready for this...new colours!!!! The update everyone was waiting for. Since I am undeserving of jApAnEsE rEliAbILiTy of Suzuki, I will go buy a Bajaj Pulsar instead. I know it will break down and disassemble itself in 1-2 years max since it is Made In India. But I will repent. Hopefully, someday I will be deserving of this reliability and get myself a Suzuki.

I sincerely request you guys to not rush to the showrooms and please dont overcrowd it. Give everyone a chance to grab a piece of history. Be compassionate. Please.

Peace out.

My friend finally bought his mini-dream bike, the Ztreme 125 with his own money.

he has been liking this bike, mainly because of the design and milege.

Saturday, he finally got it, and bro is soooo happy.

happy for you bro...

Guys, I have directly mailed autocar to check whether the Gixxer updates are still ongoing or cancelled and i got the below response.

So hoping for the best.

Hi all,

I am planning to sell my Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 (Green Drill) which I bought on 30 May 2024 and I have ridden 9,600 kms on it.

The bike is bone stock with all the services done without miss at authorized service centers and it is a non accidental bike.

The Insurance is also valid till 29 May 2027.

The bike is in Hyderabad.

How much do you think I can sell this bike for?

Also please feel free to DM me your offers if anyone is interested to buy it.

Thanks.

Is it just me, or do some riders take getting overtaken as a personal insult to their entire identity?
I ride a Honda Unicorn 160. It’s a reliable commuter, not a track machine, and I have zero interest in street racing anyone. A few times recently, I’ve overtaken people riding genuinely nice bikes (GT,Speed 400, and RC 390). I wasn't trying to flex or look down on them—I was literally just trying to get somewhere on time and had a clear gap to pass safely.

Without fail, as soon as I pass them, their ego takes over. They immediately rev past me, make weird noises, or cut back in front just to prove a point.

Has anyone else noticed this fragile ego?

There wasn't anything wrong with this bike, yet, we did not show it enough love. At almost ₹2L on-road, this was such a great motorcycle.

I am fz16 owner 2014 model (carburettor). Sweet and Built to last 💪🏽. Did one engine overhaul (new bore kit) and 70000+ km on the odo. 12 years now. Still returns a solid 42 kmpl in the middle of this fuel chaos. Have done all the 4 southern states (touring) on this simple carburettor version. Currently on my 3rd set of rubbers. Michelin pilot street 2 . Previous sets were the same pilot street as well. Badass grip.

Am looking for an upgrade (a big capacity motorcycle, not necessarily it should be a 1000cc) but Yamaha had stopped almost every premium category for Indian market. Forget about R2. I was expecting them to bring back the Mt03 (via CBU route) or I thought they might surprise Indian fanbase with an exciting lineup of motorcycles, like how honda did it.

No Nmax for India. No 07 or 09 Mt series. No Tenere or Tracer series for India.

What exactly Yamaha is even thinking ? Wake up Yamaha !!!

Finally got the tuono457 .

😭😭😭

Still can't believe I was seeing this bike in person.... It's a v4...

Was riding casually on my bike on intercity roads with my friend... As soon as that bright red color hit me I completely came to a stop... Was stunned to see this one out in the wild.

Neo-retro... Yes that's what it iss

Selling my 2024 Triumph Speed 400. I’m the first and only owner.

Bike details:

• 2024 model
• 6,294 km
• Single owner
• Zero accidents
• Complete service history
• Well maintained
• Insurance valid until August 2027
• Karnataka registered

A reason to consider the 2024 version:

This is the original 398cc Speed 400, with 40 PS and 37.5 Nm.

The current Speed 400 uses a smaller 349cc engine, with 37 PS and 32 Nm. In independent testing, the original 400cc version was also quicker from 0–100 km/h (7.4 sec vs 8.1 sec).

So if you specifically want the original, more powerful Speed 400 rather than the newer 349cc version, this is a low-km example.

Price: ₹2,40,000

Slightly negotiable for a genuine buyer after inspection.

The bike can be inspected at a Triumph service centre or by your own mechanic. Service records and other documents are available for verification.

Photos/videos and additional details can be shared over DM.

Location: Bangalore

Private sale. No dealers/brokers, please.

Edited to add asked queries :
Reason for sale : Moving out of country
Original Purchase Invoice amount - on road in Mangalore (KA19) : 2,96,441/-

A few days ago I asked your opinion on whether I should go with speed or scrambler. This is my first bike I bought on my own. I was riding a scooty from last 10 years. Give me tips and advices to maintain this savaari of mine. I will ride with my wife mostly. Planning to go lonavla from mumbai, before the first service. Give me tips or advice on the maintenance since this is my first bike.

Hello everyone,

I started to go for rides from last month mostly 250km to 600km rides

Want some good quality gloves under 4k - planning to use this for some time and will upgrade by December

Right now 4k is all my budget as i have a course in other city for two months so short of cash 💸

I bought my guerrilla in Aug last year. I was quite happy with it in the beginning. But for the past few months I've been feeling i just can't get settled on the bike. I just can't get comfortable on the bike. My max riding time on it has been reducing for the past few months. In the beginning i could do 200+ kms in a single shot & still felt like just starting but now 200 kms in a shot is just not possible. My main concern seems to be shoulder pain (can't find a comfortable enough posture) & stiff suspension. I have tried everything, handlebar risers, new handlebar, new seat (twice), adjusted preload twice (still in testing phase with new settings every week). I exercise & lift weights regularly but it's not helping either. I have also upgraded my riding gear for a more comfort oriented fit but that didn't help either.

Recently I tried my friend's Himalayan 450 & immediately fell in love with how comfortable it was. The leg room, wind protection, basically effortless mile-muncher. But the suspension stood out the most. Didn't like the vibes & how heavy it feels at slower speed.

Haven't ridden the adv390 due to the fear that it will completely ruin the guerrilla for me.😅🥀

I have been a hardcore naked/roadster fan boy but i feel an adv would've been a better choice.

Now I'm torn between selling it for Himi450 or Adv390. But I'm not able to make up my mind to spend an additional 1.5-2 lacs on a new bike.

No AI used, so apologies for the grammar & spelling mistakes.

TLDR: getting adv fomo after buying guerrilla. Don't want to spend an additional 1.5-2 lacs replacing it with Himi450/adv390 but can't really enjoy guerrilla either. What to do?

So, adding a side box does spoil the looks of a bike somewhat but it adds so much convenience for every day use. Would you choose looks over usability?

Bike - Pulsar 135LS

I'm sick and tired of these a"sholes. This is the third time they did this, Indicators, lights everything is zucked.

Wiring, Light control module gone.

This happened again after added -

Red thing is - Chilli powder, crushed camphor in that cloth

Repellent spray.

My only option is to put the Rat Powder here.
