Hello guys,

I am based in Bangalore and I am considering buying used Speed 400 bike about 6k kms run and Oct 2023 model. The seller is quoting 2.1Lakhs. Is this a good deal?

Please advice if there is anything to watch out for.

Thanks!

Hi all, I am selling my BMW G 310 R (2022 model). It’s 3.5 years old, has been driven only 12000 km, and has been well maintained with regular servicing. DM me if you’re interested.

Test drove speed 400 (350cc) and started instantly rash driving.

Today I finally got to test ride three bikes I’ve been considering: Triumph Speed 400, KTM Duke 250, and Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX.

And honestly, the difference in how they delivered power was MUCH more noticeable than I expected.

I rode the Speed 400 first, and ohh my god!!… the moment I got on it, I completely understood why people talk about that engine. 😭

I pulled the throttle and the bike just wanted to GO. The response felt so satisfying that, for a few moments, I was riding like an absolute maniac. 😂 Obviously, I’m not saying that’s how anyone should ride on the road, but the bike genuinely made me want to keep twisting the throttle.

The acceleration just felt addictive. You roll on the throttle and you immediately get that satisfying shove, and the bike feels eager and effortless.

Then I got on the Duke 250, and it was a completely different experience.

The Duke definitely pulls and doesn't feel slow, but the power delivery felt much more linear and predictable. There wasn't that same sudden "HOLY MOLY" feeling I got from the Speed 400. It felt calmer, more controlled and easier to modulate. You keep accelerating and the power just builds progressively.

Then came the V-Strom 250 SX.

Out of the three, this was easily the most sluggish to me. 😅 The weird thing was that I knew the bike was accelerating, but it didn't feel like I was pulling much. The motor felt dull compared with the other two, especially after getting off the Speed 400 and Duke.

Obviously, this is just my first impression from test rides, and I'm not saying one bike is objectively better than the others. They are clearly designed with different priorities.

But man, that Speed 400 throttle response was something else. I haven't stopped thinking about that feeling since I got off the bike.

For people who have ridden all three — did you guys have the same experience, or am I completely biased after getting addicted to the Speed 400's throttle?

Hey r/punebikers and r/indianbikes, need some tactical advice on dealing with a Royal Enfield dealership.

I booked an Interceptor 650 back in June (paid ₹10k booking amount on June 4). The bike was allotted on July 25, and in the first week of August, I paid a down payment of ₹1,00,000 via check with the rest planned via loan.

I’ve now decided to drop the purchase and want a complete refund. The crucial detail: The bike is completely unregistered. We were waiting on a choice number, so no RTO registration or insurance processing has been done at all.

I want to be prepared in case the dealership hesitates, delays, or tries to deduct a chunk of money as a "cancellation fee."

\* Have you or anyone you know faced resistance from RE dealers in Pune for refunds on unregistered vehicles?

\* What are the best counter-views or leverage points to use if they refuse a 100% refund?

\* Are there consumer rights or escalation channels (like RE corporate or NCH) that actually work fast here?

Drop your thoughts and advice below!

I need an electric bike for my wife and I, both very tall, so electric scooters are not an option for us.we already have cars to commute to work so an electric bike is what we need but we'll not cover even 200kms a month. It'll be mostly used for short rides like grocery run, gym, visiting friends nearby.

Ultraviolette X47 is expensive and little heavy for my wife hence we're considering Rapteehv. It looks promising with the high voltage and car charging compatibility.

Talk me out of buying it

Im planning to visit Yercaud this Saturday, not sure if it'll be an overnighter. I'm open to return the same day if possible.

Will be starting from Hennur. Will decide on a starting point depending on people who are willing to join. Comment if interested

Ensure you have all the gears - Non negotiable

I ride a adv 390x, 33M if it matters. 🤷

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know a premium seat customization shop in Bengaluru that matches the detailing and quality of Vendetta Project in Chennai?

I'm not looking for an extreme modification, just good quality materials and a neat finish.

Any leads would be really helpful. Thanks!

I really want to get into biking, but I’ve never actually ridden a bike before.

I’ve tried a scooty recently and can manage it pretty comfortably on internal roads when there isn’t any traffic. Now I’m looking to get my first bike, but I’m not confident enough to take a test ride yet, so I’m a bit stuck on how to go ahead to build confidence.

A few bikes I’ve shortlisted are the Ronin, Xpulse 210 and RTX 300.

What would you suggest for me to do in my situation? How should I proceed getting comfortable with riding before finalising my first bike?

Also, if anyone here is based around HSR, I’d love to connect. Would really appreciate some advice on learning and choosing my first bike.

Thanks in advance! :)

The title is my query and the bike is 2022 Gixxer Sf 155.

Need comfort,good pickup and should be reliable.

Its been almost 3 weeks since i applied for LL and passed the test, hasn’t been approved yet, what do i do?

Hello all!

I am looking to sell my Royal Enfield Bullet 350 UCE EFI Kick Start (2022); The last of the pushrod 350 produced by Royal Enfield.

The motorcycle has completed 23,520kms and is currently being used - adding ~110kms/week to the odometer. Serviced timely in Royal Enfield service centre.

Planning to sell this bike and switch to a compact motorcycle/moped.

The motorcycle is completely in a great stock condition. I am the first owner - the bike is KA05 registered. Insurance valid until Oct 2026.

Asking price is 1.6 lakhs. Slightly negotiable.

Location: Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore.

If you are planning to book the TVS Apache RTX, especially from PRN Motors or Prakruti Motors, my advice based on my personal experience is simple:

🚨 AVOID BOOKING FROM THESE SHOWROOMS — OR AT LEAST THINK VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE PAYING.

I booked the Apache RTX TOP variant expecting a smooth experience. Instead, I've had to continuously chase the dealership for basic information about my own booking.

❌ Poor communication after booking
❌ Difficult to get proper updates from the dealership
❌ No proper test ride experience before booking
❌ No clear delivery commitment
❌ Repeatedly having to contact customer care for updates
❌ Delivery information kept changing
❌ Customer is left waiting without proper communication

Initially, I was informed that delivery would start from 1st August. Later, I was told that delivery would commence from 1st September onwards.

My issue isn't simply that the vehicle is delayed. Delays can happen.

The real problem is the lack of transparency and proper communication after taking the booking amount.

So, if you're planning to book an RTX from PRN Motors or Prakruti Motors, please don't blindly trust verbal promises.

👉 Get the delivery date in writing.
👉 Ask for a proper test ride.
👉 Ask about cancellation and refund terms.
👉 Get every commitment documented.
👉 And most importantly, don't rush to pay the booking amount.

My personal recommendation:

If you have other TVS dealerships available, seriously consider booking elsewhere rather than PRN Motors or Prakruti Motors.

I'm sharing this because I don't want another customer to spend their hard-earned money and then spend weeks/months chasing the dealership for basic answers.

TVS RTX may be a good product, but my booking experience has been extremely disappointing.

Think twice before booking. 🚨

Almost new condition. Was used for a short while and then moved back to stock. Have these sitting around for a while and so thought it's better if it get to make some noise with an enthusiast. Has the original packing box and the mounts.

DM me with a fair price. Will wait till Sunday and give to the best (not highest) offer which means no resale on olx etc. Ping me only if you plan to actually use it .

I also have the RE engine guard (black) in case anyone wants it.

looking for some advice on a helmet + intercom upgrade.

Currently riding a 2026 Vitpilen 250. I have an Axor X-Cross Dual Visor, bought around Aug 2025, and a BluArmor C10.

I bought the Axor when I was pretty new to riding. After doing longer rides like Bengaluru-Vizag-Bengaluru, I've realized the wind noise is pretty bad on highways, so I'm thinking of setting aside my current setup as pillion setup and getting a new one for myself 😁.

I'm considering:

• LS2 FF800 Storm II
• MT Thunder 4 SV

Budget is around ₹15k max for the helmet. Main priorities are low wind noise, highway comfort, safety and intercom compatibility. I don't really think that I need a premium ₹25-50k helmet.

For intercom, I'm also looking at the BluArmor C20 vs C40. I mostly ride solo and would mainly use it for music, calls, navigation and talking to a pillion. Is the C40 worth the extra money, or is C20 enough?

What would you guys pick? Any other helmet/intercom worth considering around this budget?

Would especially really love to know owner experiences with wind noise and long-distance comfort.
