Q. Should I choose another bike other than Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 due to its ground clearance?
  • Definitely not get the Vitpilen it's a fun to drive
  • First of all the GC is around 135mm and not 145mm. Secondly, it's not a problem with the bike it's a problem with the Indian roads so changing is never going to solve your problem. Better get your desired bike and drive little smart. I gave these issues in the beginning but later on learned to avoid these high breakers by some simple manuevers like side crossing and slowing down before bumps
  • Yes, If good ground is your preference and you also intrested in occasional off roading.
