Thanks for your analysis! Living at 18° North, I rode my used 2003 BMW Scarver almost every day from 2005 'till 2017. I wasn't a good owner & I gave it away in 2018 for 300€ while I replaced it with a single cylinder 660cc Yamaha MT03, not the newer 320cc twin cylinders MT03 😃😃😃 My 2010 MT03 has the same single cylinder engine as the famous Yamaha TENERE (2008-2016).
Been riding Sportster, Nightster and Roadster, for a while now but was thinking about upgrading. Really would love one of these but nervous about the weight and seat height. I am only 5’3”.
I'm from Sri Lanka, and just to let you guys know that India is one of the biggest producers of Motorbikes in the world, and not just cheap ones. They have a lot of engineering expertise building a plethora of motorbikes. I don't ride, but I love bikes, and loved the review. They also build BMW, Mercedes and other premium cars in India with fantastic fit and finish as well. That's the beauty of a Global economy.
For a first bike it's ok to ride something smaller like this. You will be a much better rider to start off on this and move up to something bigger than diving into a 1000cc street from the get go. I'm 6'4 and started on a small Kawi...I looked like a giant riding a tricycle but got my skills down much easier than if I jumped into CBR1000
Most people would recommend something “not so fun” like a Honda rebel. But I think this is a perfect bike in the “sport” category. It doesn’t have nearly have as much power as other bikes since it’s a 300cc single cylinder. But it’ll last you a few years while you’re learning
I’m 18 looking for my first motorcycle and I think I’m gonna go with this one. Looks alone is great and after watching these reviews I’m confident in my future decision thanks for the great review
Pill low36 It’s BMW engineered but 100% manufactured in India by TVS. I had problems with the clutch on one of the initial units but I haven’t heard widespread complaints. It does have a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty if that eases your mind - I just personally feel that if you’re going to risk buying an Indian made motorcycle you’re better off with the KTM 390.
thank you for your beautiful honest review. I chose this over the grom. I just dont think the grom is going to fit me well, i really feel like im going to outgrow the grom. I meed a bike for normal work commutes but sometimes i dont want to put miles on the car and need to drive 120 miles. I think this would make a 120 mile trip beautiful.
