Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am confused between CBR650R vs Z900.
  • Selecting between the Kawasaki Z900 and Honda CBR650R would depend on certain factors such as your budget, brand preference, serviceability, engine preference, etc. The Kawasaki Z900 is one of the most bang-for-buck inline-four naked big bikes out there. Along with its impressive 125PS motor, the Z900 also offers TFT instrumentation, traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, all-LED illumination, and not to forget, razor-sharp aesthetics. On the other hand, CBR650R is powered by 649cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine that has been updated for a stronger mid-range. In its BS6 guise, it now puts out 87PS at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm at 8500rpm. CBR650R features new graphics, a revised LED headlight reflector profile, and a USB Type-C under-seat charging socket. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which bike to buy, Kawasaki Z900 or Suzuki GSX-S1000GT?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here as Suzuki GSX-S1000GT hasn't launched yet. So we would suggest you wait for the bike to get launched for a fruitful comparison. Stay tuned for further updates. Follow the link to get an alert when Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is launched. On the other hand, Kawasaki Z900 is a great pick. Kawasaki has launched 2021 Z900 in India at Rs 8.42 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike remains unchanged and still remains an excellent value proposition in the market. Read more - 2021 Kawasaki Z900 Now In India At Rs 8.42 Lakh.
Q. Which bike has the best braking system, Street Triple R, or Ninja Z900?
  • Triumph has not kitted the Triple R with the same braking setup as the RS. So, no Brembo M50 monobloc calipers, Brembo MCS levers and radial master cylinder. You get the entry-level (in the performance-motorcycling world) M4.32 monoblocs and a conventional brake master cylinder. It does shed speed rather quickly, with little to no ABS intervention when going hard on the front brake lever. At the rear, the ABS does kick in subtly. But if you have ridden the RS, the system on the R leaves you longing for a bit more sharpness. One particularly annoying thing about the brakes is the squeaky noise that is generated when braking from around 40-50kmph On the other hand, The new bike comes with four rider modes: Rain, Road, Sport, and Manual. This should help offer riders the confidence to push the bike a bit more than they normally would without electronics. Plus, there are two power modes too. What’s impressive is the fact that despite meeting the new emission norms, there has been no drop in power. The 948cc, in-line-four engine produces 125PS at 9500rpm and 98.6Nm at 7700rpm Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox with slip and assist clutch. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Triumph Street Triple R Road Test Review

    Empty highways 

    This bike is scary if you are jumping to this directly from a sub 300cc bike. But once you get a hang of it, it's so much fun. In city limits, it can ride easy in any gear, and on highways, that's where the fun begins. There is a difference in power once you reach higher RPMs and that's when you would enjoy it even more.It's has an easy almost upright riding position, only slighly agressive. Seat height is a bit taller now, and the ground clearance is improved as well. Exhaust has a beautiful grunt to it which you can hear while riding as well. TFT has very clear display and is visible during day as well. I like the road rider mode, which has full power and bit of traction control as well. Sports mode makes the throttle very s****h which is only good if you want to ride agressively, i.e. switch gear and accelerate non stop, which is not possible in city, but definitely good on empty highways, or tracks. All in all, it's an awesome update for the z900

    Stylish Scootering with a Pinch of Nostalgia 

    Owning a Vespa SXL 125 for over eight months has been an experience filled with admiring glances. Its retro charm combined with modern touches like the LED headlights and a digital instrument panel blends style with functionality. The 125 cc engine is capable, handling daily commutes with ease while providing a decent fuel efficiency of around 45 kmpl.But Vespa could improve in the suspension department, the ride gets quite bumpy on uneven roads. Also, the cost of maintenance is on the higher side compared to other scooters in the market which might be a deciding factor for many.

    value and worth, altogether  

    I am searching for a scooter from past 6 months and my uncle preffered me Vespa SXL 125 and i liked it very much as . It is a premium 125cc scooter known for its classic design and Italian heritage. It comes in a variety of colors to suit different styles. It offers a comfortable riding posture with an upright handlebar, a well-cushioned seat with good legroom for my family. The Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is not available on the SXL 125 which is not liked by my father .

    Smooth and relaxed ride quality 

    The gearbox is tuned for a very linear power and for comfort and Vespa SXL 125 gives a very smooth ride. Vespa gives more stability than the Suzuki Access and is a next level scooter and the performance of this scooter is extremly smooth. Vespa look totally different on the road and the quality of this scooter is up to the mark and give the best ride quality but the mileage is less. It is for relaxed and enjoyable ride and i also cover hills area with this scooter but the price is high.

    I am in love with this 

    After owning the Vespa SXL 125 for several months, I am in love with this because of its retro charm mixed with modern flair. It is powered by a 125cc engine that delivers about 9.92 PS of power and 9.60 Nm of torque which makes it quick enough for city rides. Its vibrant color options and the square headlight design have turned quite a few heads.The ride quality is decent, thanks to the aircraft derived single sidearm front suspension and rear dual effect hydraulic shock absorber.

    Taking vehicle 

    I am reviewing this vehicle after driving for an year now.I have a very bad experience with this vehicle.Daily it makes me think that i have wasted by 1.42l in this vehicle.I've not yet completed 3k kms but i have visited service station with complaints multiple times.Vehicle has a poor wiring system.It has 4 fuses in the rear, Below head lamp and 2 under the seats.Fuses has gone for multiple times now due to improper wiring which is leading to a sort.After taking vehicle to the service station multiple times now they have found that there is an issue with the key slot, But the greatest news is that they don't have the spare part to change it.I am not sure how well these post sales support works.They don't have accessories or the spares with them but they know well to ask us wait for everything for weeks.Very very poor services post sales.

    Retro styled scooters 

    Vespa is renowned for its precisely proportioned, retro-styled scooters that are superbly constructed. Not an exception is the Vespa lx125. It has a handlebar with a retro aesthetic, chromed wide rearview mirrors, a round headlamp with a vintage aesthetic, step-up floorboard, comfortable single seat piece, stylish 10-inch wheels, a rear grab rail, and a bulky tail section with lights and turn indicators. One of the design's features is the chrome border that adorns the apron. A chrome border that appears extremely upscale is added to the headlight and the front turn blinkers. Additionally, chrome is applied to the air intake grills above the apron. Another distinctive feature of the is the decoration on the front fender.

    Classic Style, Modern Performance 

    Vespa SXL 125 scooters give riders a refined and enjoyable scooter experience by adroitly combining traditional Expression with coincidental interpretation. Its 125cc Mechanism delivers a sprightly interpretation, which makes it a quick and operative option for floating megacity Roads. The scooter's two wheeler, which combines ultramodern and old factors, exemplifies Vespa's fidelity to Classic goddess. Although its athletic face gives it a little of dynamism, more useful features may boost its rigidity for megacity riders. The Vespa SXL 125 is a name model for riders who value the conjugality of Expression and dexterity because of its energetic interpretation and Classic two wheeler language.
