Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am planning to buy my first bike. My shortlisted choices are very small Vulcan S650 and Versys 650. Considering Indian road conditions, which bike would you recommend me? My budget is around 6.5 lakhs INR. Any other options are also welcome.
  • These are entirely different types of bikes - Cruiser and Semi ADV. Secondly Versys is more expensive and it isn’t available for Rs 6.5 Lac (assuming you are not buying a used one). I paid Rs 7.08 Lac for Vulcan itself (Bengaluru). Both are big bikes. Versys is a little more gigantic/bulky than Vulcan making it difficult to be a daily commuter. Vulcan May be slightly better on this aspect, but it has a pathetic 130 mm ground clearance which makes it somewhat difficult to ride over speed bumps and potholes in Cities. But Versys is a better All-rounder compared to Vulcan since it has some off-roading capability.If you are ok with the might/bulk of Versys and its higher Price, Versys May be a better choice.( I wanted Cruiser, so I chose Vulcan ).However, if your rides are a good combination of daily commute and touring, Z650 and Ninja650 are better options compared to Versys and Vulcan.
  • Yes.. You can either install an Aftermarket exhaust or get ‘fork raisers’ installed.. Since I live in Bengaluru where cops seem to be very strict about aftermarket exhausts ( and also due to these exhausts being very expensive ), I got ‘fork raisers’ installed which raise the frame by a couple of inches thereby increasing the ground clearance by about an inch..Note that these fork raisers are not some standard accessories you can buy.. These were fabricated and installed at a workshop owned by a member of one of the riding clubs, so you need to check if such fabrication and installation can be done by someone in your city..
  • Hi,I would suggest you to decide priority and need first .Every segmented bike have different purpose .Versys meant to be for off touring purpose including some off road capabilities.Vulcun is good for city ride and for daily commuting but sometimes it will create problem as ground clearance is not so good.Ninja 650 is a good sports tourer with comfortably adjusted upright clip on handlebar also you can enjoy weekend rides in city as well as on highway.Decide what you want take test ride of all the bikes and choose accordingly

    Very comfortable, reliable 

    Very comfortable, Reliable and plenty of power to cruise at highway speeds.I've put 5000miles on mine in the first year just chain maintenance and oil changes and the bike will run forever.It has lots of low end torque so off the line this bike moves but if you cruising at 70 mph mostly any other parallel twin naked bike will leave you in the dust.But that fine with me this bake checks all the boxes and it looks good as well for the price.

    Reliable cruiser 

    Most reliable cruiser.Solid, High quality frame and parts as expected from kawasaki.Having a forward placed parallel twin engine, There is minimum heat felt around the thighs giving it more advantage over the popular v twin engine cruisers.Also parallel twin reduces the vibration of the vehicle, Elongating the life of all the parts.Engine mapping could have been improved as it is still sporty like the other models of kawasaki fitting with the same 650cc engine.The bike always seems to be in an accelerated mode and never seems to settle down at cruising speeds between 100 to 125 kmps.Having listed the pros here are few cons too: poor ground clearance due to bulky catalytic converter and long wheel base.Uninteresting exhaust note.Expensive spare parts.In my opinion: the most practical and reliable cruiser that is available in india at the moment if it is within the buyer's budget.

    Best Bike 

    It's an incredible cruiser machine with a design and engineering that connects with your soul. The precision and ease of riding bring sheer joy, whether in the city or on the highway. The switchgear is top-notch, offering a great feel and rider's delight. The proven 650cc twin engine is constantly updated for performance.

    Exhaust sound 

    After a 2000 km ride and much more experience with Vulcan S bike. I am surprised by its performance. It is quick and fast for a cruiser. It is a sportbike with a cruiser body. Because it is an expensive bike. I just wish it has more features like riding modes etc. Builds quality is awesome. I can't feel the vibration at all. It's heavy, but again because of the low seat height. You cannot feel the weight. The con side of the bike is that I hate the exhaust sound, and there are very limited accessories in India. The maintenance is high.

    Excellent model 

    This bike is an excellent model for ev.I tested more vehicles but i fully comforted tork kratos r.I took a test drive from a kerala tvm dealer.Aban motors pvt ltd, Kumarapuram.When i visited the showroom they explained all the features and offered a test drive, Excellent dealings.When i drive i feel fully comfortable because when i drive more than 75 km speed then suddenly brake vehicle stopped the same place without any skid or vibration.The main point i found built quality of that vehicle.Fully indian-made and chain drive.I suggest a tork vehicle for purchase in ev bike.When i searched tvm dealers in ev i heard aban motors is one of the best dealer in ev.That i experienced when i first visited there.Thanks to aban and tork motors.

    App support 

    Sporty look and sporty feelings in an ev #tork_kratos_r the tork has recently launched its tork kratos r which has an astonishing sporty feel and look, To be honest it gives you the same feeling while riding it also, It has a range of 120 kms but it will vary if we change the modes, We can change the modes according to our speed levels just like gears in any other bike it has buttons instead to change the modes, The things it lacks in are it's extra fittings and crash guard, It does not have any extra fittings and no place for crash guard, But the overall build quality is good and pickup is of 0-40 speed in just 3.5 sec just amazing pickup for a sporty feeling the after sales service is okay, But not up to the mark, The shock absorber should be made to two instead of 1 for effective shock absorption, The main thing it lacks in is abs, It doesn't have anti braking system also known as abs.It has many features like in app support, Geofencing, Gps tracker to track your bike location and many more.The after sales service should be.Improved they are not providing the service up to the mark as expected by the customer for this ev bike.

    Unique feature 

    The bike comes with three modes, Eco, City and sport.Eco mode is very dull but lets you get upto speeds of 50kmph which is decent.City mode has better acceleration and goes upto 70kmph.I haven't bothered testing the range in eco and city modes, As i never use them.But i must say, The motor is really really efficient.I ride it in sport mode, Exactly like i used to ride my dominar 400 for my daily commute.Yet, The bike returns a good efficiency of about 95-99 kms per charge in sport mode (company claims 90kms).My accelerations are linear and i ride at around 55-70 kmph using regen instead of brakes.Being chain driven, Chain maintenance becomes mandatory which i really don't mind.The app comes with a unique feature (compensating for the lack of modern instrument cluster) where the phone connects via bluetooth and displays a fancy version of the instrument cluster on the phone.It can be used by mounting the phone on the handle bar, But it's mostly a miss since it does not work well in real time.The bike does have fast charging capabilities, But since the company has not finalised the type of charging port as of december 2022, The charging port slot has been left empty for now.The slow fixed charger at 750w does take a good 6-7 hours to completely charge the vehicle.

    I've been using this bike 

    I've been using this bike for 1 year and i came to the conclusion, That this is one of the best ev bikes in the field.This is really a comfort-giving bike.The only thing that i'm sad, About that is its charging pumps are very rarely available but i think in the future it will be fixed as per the growth of ev users.In the talk about performance, This is better than the revolt 400, In a single charge with the eco mode it gives a 150-170 km range.And it's pickup is also similar to sports bikes as fast, Anyone can say it's an ev sports bike from its look and build quality.In the bike app lots and display, There are lots of features, And the one i like most is it has an anti-theft mode which is only unlocked by user access.As i'm from kolkata the shipping charge took more price but after all, I can honestly say you must try this e-bike.
