Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is better Triumph Street Twin or Street Rod?
  • What's the ground clearance of this bike and is it the bike for shoter rides like me at 160cm?
  • Triumph needs way more maintenance than Harley Davidson
  • Street rod. Just fix the heat with a simple heat shield

Q. Which is the best bike Iron 883 or Street Rod?
  • The Street Rod has the highest Weight to Power Ratio in the Harley stable. No bike in its original factory configuration can beat its acceleration. Top speed wise yes, the heavier bikes are bound to be more stable but comparing SR with 883 the only extra in 883 is higher exhaust sound and more swanky looks with double exhaust. From my point of view these cosmetic enhancements are not worth the extra cost. SR anyday!
  • Iron 883. If you want to cruise
  • Rod is price Worthy

  • Z650 can be but Street Rod can never commute in city. Your legs will be tandoori once you reach your destination

    Like most of the people 

    Like most of the people here I don't own kawasaki z650 2020 model but still I am writing this review. I don't know how others know about the pros and cons of the bike without riding it. Please wait for the test ride and thereafter you can reveiw it. As per my research it is one of the best entry level sports bike.

    Main issue 

    The main issue is the ground clearance Heating issue is a bit on the hard side but still it heats a lot and i drove it only for 30 minutes but it was like burning. No proper exhaust as Benneli and a bit of clutch issues.... cuz slipper clutch doesn't work the way it should

    Daily commute 

    The Z650 is a bike which you can use for weekend fun ride or for daily commute. The 650 engine is peppy and can generate torque in any gear. The engine is very good and no problem so far. The maintenance cost is a little high apart from that its a fun to ride motorcycle
