Q. I want to ask which is the best bike for daily 60km ride daily? Confused between a Thunderbird and Avenger 220. The issue is I found a lot of vibrations in Tthunderbird any other suggestion is welcome.
  • I own a Avenger 220 Cruise. Must tell you the ride is really comfortable and no vibrations or difficulty in traffic. Can easily maneuver in traffic. Two things I don\'t like is the long wheelbase makes turn radius more, which becomes difficult while taking you turns or changing to the opposite lane. Second is pick up is average for a 220 cc engine. Rest: Low Maintainence Cost, Spare parts availability, Bajaj Service Center Availability , Pretty Good Mileage of around 25-30 Kmpl and The Best Is You can go on Long Drive in comfort, No Back Pain, Less Vibration, Less Fuel Stops and the best Cruising at 80kmpl comfortable and enjoy the Ride. Now my friend also has a Thunderbird. Same as known problems, Vibrations, Mileage Problem, High Service Charge, comparatively less service center availability and the biggest concern is the spare parts cost. Average Pick Up. Which means you\'ll struggle overtaking. Thunderbird although gives you a very much comfortable ride except for the vibrations. For daily commute, I wouldn\'t Suggest a Thunderbird. For a daily commute of 60km, you can go for Avenger 220 Street or Cruise. Other options would be NS 200 or Yamaha FZ or New Gixxer is also good I guess.

Q. Which bike is the best for long rides?
  • As per my opinion , RE bikes are good in order of their quality and riding comfort. I recent drove my RE TB 350 for 300 KM long drive to Trichy and back to Bangalore . After riding around 150 KMs , my left shoulder started hurting me and due to this , I couldn’t turn my head to right , if turn so , my shoulder hurts more than normal .So I have decided from then . Not to go long ride which is more than 150KMs. It remain hurts for few days after the ride finished . It’s my opinion . It may be due to my height . I am 6 ft tall .
  • All cruiser type bikes are good for long rides. its rifing position is comfortable, is one of the main reason. if you're comfortable with all kind of riding position, you can choose a bike according to your taste & need , ofcourse the budget ..
  • Check for tubeless tyre Vehicle first,R.E bikes exhibit a heat a lot, since they don't have any oil cooling techniques.actually if you are a rider means go for. Himalayan or else you can consider Bajaj Dominar

Q. I like Thunderbird 350 and have also taken a test of Jawa 42. A bit confused after taking the test drive of Jawa42. It is also a smooth and powerful bike. Technically advanced also. which one to buy considering technical features, durability, mileage and maintenance? Please advise. Jawa's handling is also great. Runs smooth and looks better. But please give an expert opinion on what to buy.
  • I've got a TBTS350 and have taken rides of Jawa 42 as well. performance wise, both are almost same just Jawa is a bit more refined and smoother. suspensions are great on Jawa. when you buy such bikes, most important part is the Maintainance, with Thunderbird an experience of 7+ years after 5 years it started giving me pain in Ass as had to spend a lot every time it goes for service. but that's due to my handling as well, I hardly use it. so whenever I plan to use it it give me a big hole in my pocket. On the other hand I am not sure about Jawa. and to be honest being 5'10" TB is more comfortable specially for long rides. it's a complex comparison to do, both engines are powerful unless you are very critical about every nm it generates. Both are of different segments one is kind of a touring bike and the other one is styling. If you want me to select one, I would select TB due to its very comfortable ride position. The new models xtreme are very juicy as well.
  • Thats what happend in my casse, I am 6.3 tall and heavy, ordered jawa and waited for a 4 months and later realised regarding long rides it will be a hell for my height and the seat length of both Jawa 42 & classic was a bit small so if you are near or above 5.8 its better go to RE classic or what ever bike you like if much more above than 6ft its RE ThunderBird is a preferable choice. at the same time jawa has its pros & cons similarly RE as we all know about the vibrations in RE at higher speeds and Rusting & Pain quality in Jawa. So go by your requirement and the bike which suits you more.
  • Bro go for Thunderbird me piche 3 yrs se use KR raha hu bike awesome bike hai feature loaded hai built quality awesome hai milage around 35 ki mil jaeti hai meko maintenance Bhai 1500 me service ho jati hai plus jagah jagah store hai kahi bhi service krwa lo jawa ke itne service center nai hai across India so bro go for Thunderbird

    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.

    I went for a test ride in 

    I went for a test ride in the kolkata experience centre and the first impression is good.In the long run, The sitting position might be a hassle for long distance daily commuters.Apart from that, The battery is not removable which is a bit of concern for me but it does have a chain for pulling its rear wheel which can be seen as an advantage over the competitors offering belt mechanism.Overall, It depends on your usecase whether you want to go for it or not.

    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.

    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.
