Roadster has an aggressive riding position, almost like that of a naked bike, i don't get tired on it even if i do 1000kms in 1 day, indian scout and bobber both have forward controls, which personally i am not comfortable with, for city rides i wont recommend roadster as it will heat up in bumper to bumper traffic or not doing more than 3rd gear. cant say about heating issues on indian bikes. havent come across any owner while riding so far.
It is a 1200cc bike - not meant for city traffic - if you know the bike won't stop for long in traffic then ya good for city rides - these bikes clutch plates wear out quite quickly too, if riding in city means using alot of clutch - if you can avoid the same then go for it - why not
If your purpose is long cruises, something like 400km+ at a stretch, It would not be my first choice .may be i would change the stock handle bar to ape bars. But if u wanna have aggressive short rides or short cruises this bike is a charm. my height is 173cm and I dnt feel uncomfortable on roadster unless I push my rides beyond 300-400 km on a bad day
That's a great height :) take a test ride and see if you are comfortable - shouldn't be an issue - you might need to raise the handle bars
No, not at all. You are so slim, can't bear the weight of that one.
Did continue ride from Mumbai to statue of unity, only stops for petrol and no issues at all. depends on your riding style. personally no issues, keep the bike cruising at 120-140 and the bike is magic
Shouldn't be an issue, I have a friend who is 5'0" and rides bmw 1200gs. it's all in the mind. take a bike for a test ride, see if you are comfortable.
