Recently Asked User Questions
Q. Is Vespa ZX 125 better or Vespa VXL 150 for semi hilly areas for a senior citizens?
- Selecting between the Vespa ZX 125 and Vespa VXL 150 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the engine, features, drivability, etc. If budget is not a constraint, then you may go with the VXL 150. The iconic Vespa is much sought-after because of its funky design and reasonably powerful engine. Apart from the new paint schemes and alloy wheels, the brand has updated the scooter with smartphone connectivity as well. Called the Vespa Connectivity app, it lets users access their scooter’s details like service history and last-parked location on their smartphones. The Panic Alert feature helps the user to reach out to the pre-set emergency contact with the current location, should anything unfortunate occur. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for details.Read More: -
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.
- Yes..
- 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 Sathish, I am also planning to buy Vulcan s but due to GC problem I am not getting sure about this. Can we increase Ground Clearance of vulcan s?
Q. Kawasaki Vulcan S or Harley Davidson Street 750, What would be the best option to pick?
- Kawasaki's engines and technology are more refined and advanced than Harley's. I picked a Vulcan instead of Street.
