Q. I am confused between Ninja 650 2020 KRT edition VS CBR 650R? Which one is better?
  • But what CBR 650r i mean the sound of in line 4 cylinders.. that is a huge missing with Kawasaki's twin parallel cylinders.. Once a CBR fan remains always a CBR FAN..Bcuz I had CBR 150R then Afterwards CBR250R.. Now waiting for CBR650R BS6 model..There's no comparison between CBR650R and Ninja 650..Im sorry if anyone got hurt with words.. but my Heart always fall for CBR only..❤️
  • CBR650R makes more power and at higher RPM and makes slightly lesser torque. Ninja being a twin cylinder engine makes more torque at lower rpm although it makes lesser power. Ninja 650 is good for long distance cruising. CBR with the 4 cylinder engine gives a sporty riding experience and makes more top speed than Ninja 650.
  • Honda reliability where kawasaki stands for refinement. Go for zx6r

    Lovely machine 

    Have been owning this lovely machine since the past 7 years now.But every time i twist the throttle it feels as crisp as day one.It was a childhood dream of owning a kawasaki ninja ever since i had been watching a green ninja in our locality when i was about 15 years old.This bike is a bag full of everything you need to quench your thirst about motorcycle riding.It is always ready to take anything from bumper to bumper traffic as well as long hauls on the highway.The low and linear torque is what makes it special to be ridden in any riding environment.Its 650cc, 72bhp mill amazes you with a linear pick up, Non tiring long highway riding comfort, As well as its super efficient fuel economy.This kwacker is a daily riding calm machine.Tell you take it on the highway and unleash it to see a completely different side of it.And all this at a very affordable service cost with usual service intervals of 6months or 5-6k kms which i follow comes to around 5000-6000₹ depending on consumbles.Just remember not to drop the bike because kawasaki is a pocket burner in such repair costs.Overall it is one of the best big motorcycles available in the indian market today.

    It is an excellent commuter.I rode it every day 100km.It is tolerable on rides of 2-3 hours.I have not had any mechanical issues with it in 34000 km.It is fast enough and very stable.My commute speeds usually ranged from 100 - 150 kmph no problem.I have driven the bike on trips and commutes as fast as 185kmph.It is not a superbike but it will leave most cars and traffic in my rearview.

    Long rides 

    I own the bike and i can tell it's really good if you want to go on long rides or make hilly trips.But i would suggest you to change the exhaust to get some ground clearance.The tires are good but not so good on sharp turns on high speeds.

    more defined, much better 

    Well known for its functionalities, the Vespa SXL 150 is a dynamic model. I recently bought this bike and my driving experience has been amazing. The drive quality is swift and smooth. The range of the bike is offered at an affordable price. Unique features that make this model stand apart include comfortable seat, especially for the driver. The only con is that it feels a bit heavy at times. Rest, according to me the maintenance does not cost a lot.

    Classic Charm with Contemporary Flaws 

    Ever since I took the Vespa SXL 150 for a spin, it has been a joyride. The classic Italian styling coupled with a robust 150cc engine makes for a delightful combination of form and function. It is definitely a head turner with its glossy paint and retro charm.The SXL 150 is quite speedy on city streets and handling is smooth makes it fun to ride. However,The suspension could be better specially given the price point and the scooter's premium positioning.Another hiccup is the fuel efficiency, which is not the best in its segment and for the cost conscious Indian buyer, this might be a turn off.

    Brillant performer with retro look 

    The ride quality is very good and the handling of this scooter is really very nice also the suspension is well tuned for indian roads. It performs really great on the bad roads and it keeps the comfort and stability maintained and i am fan of the retro look of Vespa SXL 150. The quality and finish of this scooter is really amazing but at this price tag the features it offers is very less. Everything in this scooter is very premium infact the engine is also so smooth but is a very expensive scooter.

    If you want a good quality 

    If you want a good quality vespa please for god sake buy it from the italian plant itself.Indian made vespas are very cheap quality scooters.I bought a vespa sxl 150 cc on 20 th march 2021 and i had enough.Electrical spares are made by fiem industries, Hosur, Tamilnadu, India this company makes an ignition switch for 20 rupees and sell it to piaggio india pvt ltd for 30 rupees and they sell it to the dealers for 40 rupees and the customer gets it for70 rupees ( 54 rupees plus tax ) within an year i have to purchase three ignition switch that's the quality you get.Limited dealerships network and horrible dealers makes it a nightmare scooter.One thing is sure "they change the way you move " -- you can keep your vespa as a showpiece in your home and walk.

    Iconic style of Vespa SXL 150 

    Amazingly, Vespa SXL 150 is the embodiment of breathtaking refinement yet radiates a lot of drive in the bike world. Its ageless retro plan integrating refined lines, top of the rack chrome covered, renders an outdated yet present day appeal to city traffic. With a strong 150cc motor, this bicycle offers a tomfoolery and efficient excursion, ideal for people who are searching for stunning quality as well as riding power. That is reveled by major areas of strength for the and comfortable seat on the bike. The SXL 150 remarkably gloats of an intriguing square headlamp signature, upscale semi-computerized instrument bunch as well as unequaled solace and power on a motorbike that is furnished with one of a kind dashes of rare class.

    Vespa SXL 150 Classic Italian Grace 

    A dateless and Fashionable scooter ride is handed by the Vespa SXL 150, which epitomizes traditional Italian fineness. Its 150cc Mechanism offers brisk interpretation, which makes it a adjustable option for both tardy Tours and City transportation. With a satiny and antique- inspired shape, the scooter's two wheeler embodies Vespa's fidelity to Classic aesthetics. Indeed while its sophisticated face contributes to its magnet, it might be indeed more charming for standard operation if it had further features for swelled use. A favorite among riders who value the conjugality of interpretation and Expression, the Vespa SXL 150 continues to be a representation of dateless fineness and nimble mobility.
