So my 10 month old Hunter 350 (graphite grey) was stolen in a busy market in Noida on a Navratri evening about 10 days ago. It broke my heart watching the CCTV footage from a nearby shop where 4-5 people surrounded it and were able to unlock and ride it away in less than 15 min. As a 24 year old, this was the first vehicle purchased under my own name and I absolutely adored it.

However, I'm in the insurance claim process now, which will take at least 3-4 months.

At around 5' 9", people did point out sometimes that the bike looked small for my frame.

So for my next purchase, I'm eyeing the Scrambler 400x or the rumoured upcoming scrambler 450 based on the Sherpa engine from RE.

Would love to hear the opinions from fellow riders in this subreddit on how to finalize my next purchase.

I recently took test drive of pulsar ns 400z( 350cc) and it was amazing. It looked very impressive, especially from front. I don’t like headlight designs of other pulsar similar bikes, but ns 400 headlights just look so clean.

I first time drove a 40bhp bike, it was crazy quick. And scary fast, like borderline insane( for me). I realised i have to get used to this much power and take time with this bike if I decided to purchase it. I currently drives hero glamour 125 (2014 model).

Well my daily commute is mainly of city and i do think ns 400z power is too much for city commute, also its mileage is also very low. But i do like how it looks and provides excellent package for its value. I was also thinking of n250 and newly launched n250 ss, but i don’t like their headlight setup.

So, NS 400Z owners can you please share your experience of owning this beautiful beast, how’s your after sale experience, wear and tear of bike( if any), build quality of bike, does it age well. And lastly would you recommend it. My fellow bike enthusiasts can also help me decide whether i should consider it or not.

I'm from Ahmedabad and looking to buy an all-rounder bike within a 2 lakh on-road budget.

My requirements:

- Height: 5'8"

- Usage: Daily city commuting + occasional touring (150-250 km, around twice a month).

- Good suspension and comfortable ride on typical Indian roads.

- Mileage: 40+ km/l on highways at around 80-90 km/h, fine with around 32-35 km/l in the city.

- Reliable engine, low maintenance, and comfortable riding posture are deal breaker.

- 10+ years ownership

- Occasionally carry a pillion (my mother should be able to sit within city).

- Not an aggressive rider, so performance isn't a priority. Electronics features are a bonus, not a necessity(not a deal breaker).

I've shortlisted the TVS Ronin and thinking to stretch my budget to Suzuki Vstrom (if it's worth extra money).

Which would be the better all-rounder in terms of comfort, mileage, reliability, and overall value for money? Would love to hear real-world experiences from owners!

Usually most cruisers I see are suggested and suited better for our short kings.

What cruiser/bobbers are good for 6'2 or above?

The showroom says maximum 45 days and showed delivery history in even 37 days. Any Odia brothers here who has any experience? I am sorry for making yet another delivery post.

…I purchased the same boot again. After more than 65 months of active service, week after week, the newer and more improved Orazo boots are at home.

The old one has been looked down upon by too many people in my circle. All I know is that it is durable and it saved my left foot when I slid down tarmac with my bike on top of it. Not to mention the time when I flew off the bike on a dirt track.

Love these boots after having gone through Raida, Shima and Gaerne.

In pic - the old boot and the new one

Found this inside a bike with starting issues.

I've been riding the Honda SP125 for the past 5 years, and the odometer crossed 1 lakh kilometres yesterday. No complaints yet. But I'm buying it for my younger brother.

I'm looking to upgrade to an entry level sports bike with a budget of ₹2 lakh. I've already owned bikes from Honda and TVS, including the Raider 125.

My primary use will be city commuting, with occasional highway rides, including long distance trips of around 650 km.

What would be the best bike to upgrade to? I'm open to other brands and suggestions. Please avoid 125cc.

Hi everyone,

I applied for a Learner’s License (Motorcycle with Gear) on the official Sarathi Parivahan portal (sarathi.parivahan.gov.in) and paid the ₹200 fee. I am giving the exam from home using their website and exam software.

During the online LL test, the test kept redirecting me back to the main screen even though I was not cheating or switching tabs. After 2–3 attempts, the website started giving me this popup:

"Fraudulent activity detected.. Please close your browser and try again."

Even after closing and reopening the browser multiple times, the exact same error keeps popping up at login, preventing me from proceeding further.

Today is the 7th day after paying my fees, so it is the last day for me to give this test.

Has anyone faced this issue before? Is there a way to bypass/reset this lock today, or do I need to re-book/contact the RTO office? I don't want to pay the fee again. Any immediate advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated!

In the tvs ronin manual it says to click the mode button to access the traction control settings but i couldn't find it. Can anyone help?

A portion from my office commute

Dear Redditors of Indian Bikes, your help would be really appreciated.

I am planning to purchase a used Triumph Speed 400 registered in Jan 2026 for 2.3 L as agreed with the owner.

The owner has an outstanding loan of 1.9 L and the vehicle is hypothecated to IDFC bank.

Now the owner insists that I pay the entire amount (minus a token advance of 5k) which I paid and he would foreclose the loan with that money and handover the vehicle to me. He also said he'd help with RC transfer whenever required but the owner is leaving for Bengaluru.

Now the issue. As per the stamp paper written based on the above terms,

1) the owner has to clear the loan after which

2) the bank has to issue Form 35 and NOC to remove hypothecation from his RC.

3) Then I need to get a set of signed forms from the owner to transfer the RC to my name under a different RTO in the same city which has jurisdiction over my permanent address as per Aadhaar.

The problem is there's no way I can get leverage once I pay the money to the owner, because I am not sure if he'd close the loan with that money and handover his original RC.

Which is why I proposed that I'd pay the loan amount to the bank directly so that I would have some skin in the process and leverage. But the owner is insisting on paying the money to his personal account.

I also suggested that I'd pay the amount required to close the loan first and pay the remaining amount after RC is transferred. Or at least after his original RC and NOC is handed over to me. The owner says he needs the money right away.

What do I do?

It's not even a bike at this point.

I'm honestly so frustrated. Street dogs keep coming back and chewing the seat of my Honda Activa, and this has happened multiple times now.

I already use a scooty cover, but they still manage to get to the seat and tear it apart. I've had to deal with this repeatedly, and I'm at my wit's end. There are no provisions to park inside a gate.

Has anyone else faced this problem? Please help me figure out how to stop this from happening again. I'm tired of getting the seat repaired over and over. 😭

My Himalayan 450 is about 2 weeks old, around 600 km. The genuine RE engine guard (KXA00437) was fitted by the authorised dealer at delivery.

After the first service I noticed the mechanic tightened the engine and guard bolts with a breaker bar, not a torque wrench. Given the frame failure reports linked to these mounts, I looked up RE’s official fitting instruction for this guard (T5000089, Issue D).

As per the instruction:

• Front engine mount, left: M10 x 90 mm fixing, 45 Nm
• Front engine mount, right: M10 x 135 mm fixing with washers and nut, 60 Nm
• Both are listed with a 14 mm socket
• A 46 mm spacer (left) and 32 mm spacer (right) go in the frame recess
• The frame adjuster on the right must be at 3 Nm, using a dealer tool

On my bike, the bolts at both front engine mounts take a 13 mm spanner. A 14 mm socket has clear play. So they do not seem to be the fixings RE specifies.

Two questions:

1. If you have the genuine guard fitted, what size are your front engine mount bolts?
2. Has anyone got RE to send a senior technician or Area Service Manager for something like this? I will raise a complaint. How long does it take?

I am in Delhi NCR. Is there a place where I can get this done correctly (even for some money)?

Photos attached. If I can't even trust the OEM accessories installed directly at the time of buying, what can I trust with RE then?

I'm planning to buy a new bike and I'm confused between the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 TFT and N250 SS.

Honestly, I really love the Nardo Grey colour on the NS200 TFT, but the N250 SS also looks good.

A little about my usage:

- Height: 5'10"

- Daily office commute: Around 15 km round trip

- Weekend rides: Occasionally 200–300 km round trip

- Main usage: Hyderabad City traffic, with occasional highway rides

I'm looking for a bike that offers good comfort, braking, suspension, reliability and reasonable mileage.

Since both bikes look quite similar, I'm confused about whether the NS200 is worth choosing over the N250 SS.

Should I follow my heart and get the NS200 TFT because I love the colour, or is the N250 SS a better all-rounder for my usage?

Owners, please share your real-world experience and suggestions!

Guys, what do you think about the Yamaha XSR 155 for someone who is 5’4” tall? Its seat height is 810 mm. Will I be able to flat-foot it, or will I have to tiptoe?

Anyone around my height who owns or has ridden this bike? Please share your experience! 🙏

So my 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 started shutting off when I turned the handlebar. Called RSA and it took it to Bolt Motorcycles LLP, Hitec City in Hyderabad, which was the nearest. I said ok thinking an authorised service centre would diagnose and fix it properly.

Oh boy, was I optimistic.

The saga:

🔹 Chapter 1: The Wiring Harness Mystery

Initially, the issue apparently pointed towards the main wiring harness. After keeping my bike there for days, I was eventually told that the actual culprit was the lockset. So, apparently, the wiring harness was innocent all along. So i was charged 10k and they changed the whole bike wiring for no reason 😭

🔹 Chapter 2: The Spare Part That Travelled Across Generations

The lockset needed replacement, and it took ANOTHER TWO WEEKS for the part to arrive. At this point, I'm convinced the part was being personally escorted to Hyderabad on a bullock cart. Even German cars ordering parts from abroad seem to have a faster logistics network.

🔹 Chapter 3: The Incomplete DLC

They replaced the ignition-side lockset but couldn't replace the fuel tank cap because both come as a set.

Their proposed solution? "Sir, we'll get it fixed from outside."

BRO. 😭 I came to an authorised service centre. If I wanted to coordinate repairs with random outside shops, I could have skipped the authorised service experience entirely.

After 24 DAYS, I finally told them to just give me my bike back.

🔹 Chapter 4: The Technician's Legendary 10-Minute Callback

The technician handling my case deserves a special mention.

I'd follow up almost every day. The response? "Sir, I'll check and tell you in 10 minutes."

And then... nothing.

No callback. No update. No information. Just me staring at my phone like a person waiting for exam results.

At this point, those 10 minutes are in a different timezone

🔹 The Final Boss: Customer Feedback

After this entire circus, they asked me to send them the link to their feedback form.

THE AUDACITY. 💀😂

TLDR:

I understand that diagnosing intermittent electrical faults can be difficult. I don't expect every problem to be fixed instantly. But 24 days, changing diagnoses, a two-week wait for a part, an incomplete job, and practically nonexistent communication? That's just unacceptable customer service.

If you're a Himalayan owner in Hyderabad, please do your research before handing over your bike here. I wouldn't want anyone else spending 24 days playing customer-service follow-up manager while their bike enjoys an extended vacation in the workshop.

M21 I am about to buy my second bike, i used to ride a CLASSIC 350 RE before this and loved it but now I wanted to switch, I was thinking of buying a JAWA BOBBER 42 but after looking at this sub I am really not sure. I don't want to go for a sports bike mainly because of the posture as I'll be driving it mostly for daily use in mumbai of about 15 kms one way. Can y'all please suggest any bike ???
