News Updates on Kawasaki Versys 650 and Triumph Rocket 3

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is best Benelli TRK 502 or Versys 650?
  • I think, there was a comparison video done by Overdrive.. Check in YouTube. Being a Versys 650 owner, I would not prefer TRK502 due to its weight, under power engine, reliability issues and past history of the brand Benelli in India. You must look between V-Strom 650 and Versys 650 if you are in market to buy one.
  • At present, it would not be possible to provide a fruitful comparison as the TRK 502 is yet to be launched. So we would suggest you to wait till the brand reveals the complete details of the TRK 502. Stay tuned.
Q. What is the difference in Triumph Rocket 3 R and Triumph Rocket 3 GT?
  • Triumph Rocket 3 is available in two different variants: Rocket 3 R and Rocket 3 GT. While the Rocket 3 R is the base bike, the GT variant is essentially a touring friendly take on the regular model. It features a cushioned backrest which is height adjustable, easy-reach handlebars, taller windscreen and wheels with slightly more premium dual-tone finish, and two exclusive colour schemes as well. The GT variant also gets heated grips with two heating modes as standard, larger 19-litre fuel tank (the R variant gets an 18-litre unit) and forward-set footpegs for more laidback ergonomics.
  • The triumph 3r is a street oriented roadster while as 3gt is the cruiser variant
Q. Its compare maintenance cost between Triumph Rocket 3 R and Harley Davidson Fat Boy
  • I’m trading my 2019 Fat Boy for a 2022 R3 GT 221. Dealer service for the FB was $480.00/5k miles. Save money by doing 90% or the service yourself.

    Stock tyres 

    Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly.The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight.The seat height is the biggest concern also the seat is wide which makes more comfort but flat footing both side impossible for anyone below 5.10.The ride quality and comfort is wonderful and i wish it had traction control which will make is a good allrounder.I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band.If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 looks better.

    Face everytime 

    Happy with the bike because it takes you places, pushes you to corners, and does a bit of everything that you expect. Brings a smile to my face everytime I ride it. Gives me a feeling of everlasting love for it after every ride.
