I keep hearing many talk about fit and finish, but I haven't found any such sore spots.

BHPian whitesquall recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Background: After I stopped using my Yamaha RX100 as per doctor's advice due to knee surgery, I shortly owned TVS NTorq which I again had to change due to the inconvenience it was causing to my knee because of its weird seating position. Last year March I bought a Honda h'ness after much deliberation. I had tried almost all the bikes in that class even considered the Meteor 650, but none gave me the riding pleasure I was after until I test rode Honda. Though Honda was not on my shortlist. I took a test ride just to ensure I had covered all the options available, it was fantastic and I brought it immediately, but I was always on the lookout for a more powerful option.

Pre-buying: Started seeing advertisements about BSA online, but I was not convinced by the images and was in dilemma. Booked a test ride request on the day they opened it and waited till I got a call back from the company after 3 long days. They shared contact details of the showroom and I also got a call from the showroom, it was a working day and I was in the office. Reached the showroom during the lunch hour. There was absolutely no fuss no queue no excitement at the showroom! Saw the RED BSA on the floor in a corner. They bought it out for my test ride. I did not look at it in detail, simply sat over it. The seating position was very comfortable and both my feet were touching the ground, that was my first positive impact (I am 5 feet 4 inches) .

Rode it for over 2 kms in city traffic, didn't enjoy it. I was used to my Honda's sweet beats and the big single-cylinder rambling was not pleasant for me. After returning to the showroom, I requested for a longer test ride and they allowed me to go for it and showed me a road less used. I was able to ride to my heart's content in all gears/revvs. It felt much better. After coming back, wanted to check the shadow black variant since chrome and color mix are not to my taste. Unfortunately, they didn't have that in stock. Asked them to call me back whenever it arrived and returned to the office undecided. Still went ahead and paid a booking amount of 5k INR online.

Then the launch happened, but no one from the showroom called. After of couple of days, I got a call from the showroom, again I was at the office but made time to go visit. Found the shadow black variant to my satisfaction and completed the buying formalities then and there.

Buying: Total documentation was hassle-free, and loan processing was fast. Completed all the formalities within an hour. They wanted to charge 2% extra for the down payment I had made using a credit card which I bluntly refused. They agreed to fix a grab rail of my choice as a freebee but didn't confirm a free BSA helmet. The bike was ready for delivery at that moment itself. But I decided to take the delivery in the next 4 days during the Ganesha festival. Kept on waiting for the day to arrive!! Total on-road price: 4.15 lacs INR.

Delivery: It was a Sunday, reached the showroom by 9.30 am. Came to know that the sales team starts working only after 11 am. Waited patiently for them to arrive while my bike was getting prepared for delivery. Once the sales team arrived, it was a brief mandatory handover ceremony including cake cutting. They did fix the grab rail and they did give me a helmet. I liked both, very plain and attractive in their simplicity just like the bike. Very retro! They explained the bike functions, do's and don'ts and they gave half a tank of fuel. Took it to a nearby temple, there was a huge crowd and the temple closing time was near. Got the puja done luckily and rode it home tired. Didn't feel the excitement at all

1st week post delivery: The feeling sank in. Started getting compliments all around, and started feeling good about my decision. Took my wife and daughter on short rides, and they loved it as well. Got a call from the showroom to come and get the number plates fixed, insurance and road tax were done too. Got a BOBO phone holder for the bike too (Cost 2500 INR). Started feeling the engine heat in Bangalore's stop/start traffic, and hated it.

2nd and 3rd week post delivery: Got an opportunity to go on a 100 km country ride with good roads, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Found a sweet spot around 100 kmph. Speeds above 100 kmph will induce bigger grunts (Can't call them as vibrations because nothing gets transferred to either your handlebar or your foot pegs), nothing unpleasant at all. Heating was not felt which was a little reassuring. Riding was pretty comfortable and effortless. Daily office rides were of course the same, kept experiencing heating though the radiator fan worked as required. The temperature indicator never came up, hoped the heating issue would reduce post 1st service. The average mileage I am getting is around 19 kmpl.

Gradually stopped using my Honda h'ness. Will put it out for sale shortly. It has run 10k kms. I got its 1st paid service done, its 1st party insurance renewed and parked in the basement safely.

Got the PPF done for my BSA at 3M for 14500 INR. Liking the bike even more. Keep getting looks in the traffic signals and a lot of inquiries too.

4th week post delivery: Got a call from the showroom. They missed selling RSA initially. I bought it promptly at 1400 INR. Didn't get the opportunity to go on long rides, did around 700 kms overall. Booked the mandatory 1st service exactly after a month. The servicing costed me around 4300 INR, took 3 hours waiting. Got the handlebar adjusted to improve my riding position. Yes, the service intervals are every 6 months though the service manual states 12 months.

During these 4 weeks, I kept getting calls from the company asking me when I would be buying the vehicle. Told them to update their database multiple times. I also got a couple of calls requesting detailed feedback on my experience owing BSA that I did over WhatsApp. Post that, I was asked if I would be interested in a video shoot to share the same feedback. It was being done with the first 100 customers I was told. Got that done in one of their other showrooms in Bangalore. Shared this photo with them

General thoughts: I keep hearing many talk about fit and finish, but I haven't found any such sore spots. I even feel the build quality is excellent. I agree that the digital console is of no use in the sunlight. I also agree that the shields/seat/spares can be stolen easily, there is no locking mechanism. BSA should take note and do something about these points. I sorely miss my Honda h'ness double horns, digital watch, and Bluetooth connectivity, they are essential in my opinion. The seat cover from the maker is of low quality, the water seeps into the seat foam in the vehicle is exposed to rain/water wash. Got it changed at a local store for 1200 INR, had to wait for an hour for the seat foam to dry before installing a new seat cover

I am still enjoying the turbo-wizzing sound even after the 1st service, love it. Hope to take it for longer rides soon!! Had to rush this review before "OFFICIAL TEAM BHP" review came in.

I refuelled short of Lucknow, calculated that the distance to Agra was around 340 plus kms and set course.

BHPian aviator1101 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Narrating an interesting incident which happened to me yesterday.

I am traveling to Spiti with Bagheera on its first long trip. Yesterday the route was from Gorakhpur to Delhi. So, I took the Lucknow Agra Expressway and then the Yamuna Expressway till Delhi.

I refuelled short of Lucknow, calculated that the distance to Agra was around 340 plus kms and set course.

Enroute, I was shocked to see only two fuel pumps in the entire expressway till Agra, and those two also at an interval of approx 100 kms each. After crossing the second pump with fuel range on console showing 120 kms, I took a wrong decision and continued without refueling. Torrential rains after midway kept slowing me down.

I kept riding with yellow warning light coming on at 100 kms to empty and then the distance to empty kept further reducing.

At the exit toll booth towards Agra, the distance to empty was at 42 kms and the toll booth operator said it was another 30 kms to the next pump at Agra exit. Just kept my fingers crossed, cursed myself for the foolishness and rode on. Finally found the exit, descended, reached the pump with distance to empty remaining just 11 kms. Heaved a sigh of relief.

So, the good part is that the distance to empty figure displayed on the console is quite accurate. Though I won't suggest anyone to either experiment or replicate what I did.

With the reading showing almost empty, tank took in 15.3 litres to fill up to the brim.
So, practically unusable fuel would be around 1.7 to 2 litres.

PS : more details on the Spiti ride shortly in travelogue section.

The pull of this bike reminds me of the 2013 Duke 390 I used to own.

BHPian @shimda recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Received delivery yesterday and rode 100 km home that too with my wife. The test ride I had taken previously was short but felt good and the ride home just confirmed that feeling.

As most have mentioned the engine has a lot of grunt even with a pillion the bike pulled effortlessly. The pull of this bike reminds me of the 2013 Duke 390 I used to own. The brakes are good but the lever action is long, probably need time to adjust to it.

The bike I received only had 10km on it so I limited myself to 4000rpm.

In 5th gear 60kmph comes at 2100rpm, 80 is at 3000 and 100kmph will cost a shade over 4000rpm.

Gear box is slick, no problem slotting neutral, gears are spaced well, 6th gear not required.  Front suspension is great and the rear is ok, after reaching home, I rode solo and preferred the weight of the pillion, less bounce it seemed.

The dealer had given a full tank of fuel, which was normal 91RON. I did not experience any knocking or other effects. Bike runs fine.

The bike is very comfortable for rider and pillion. My wife being a little vertically challenged is happy she can mount and dismount without dislocating my shoulder and she reported that her knees felt fine due to the rear foot pegs being set lower. The wife loves it so I'm a happy man.

So far I'm satisfied with the purchase; time will tell if it stays that way.

I moved back to BLR, so got the NOC from MH RTO and then paid the LTT at BLR RTO. I didn't re-register the bike.

BHPian knightrider77 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I have a 2001 edition Bajaj Pulsar 180 (aka Shadowfax), which is my first and thus far only bike ever owned. It's been a steadfast friend for more than 2 decades and despite a single major accident (when my friend was riding it - he was fine luckily), that saw it require a major overhaul (change of petrol tank, headlamp, etc, but not the engine) it is still riding strong. That is, when I get the time to ride it because my car is my primary mode of commuting.

Anyway, some years ago I moved to Mumbai and I had my bike transferred accordingly. Later I moved back to BLR, so got the NOC from MH RTO and then paid the LTT at BLR RTO. I didn't re-register the bike.

My queries are:

1. Is it legal to ride the bike without re-registering even though I have paid LTT) ? I have heard so many conflicting advice on this from friends...
2. Can I sell or scrap the bike in BLR without re-registering? I intend to invest in a new bike if I can, and give Shadowfax a well earned rest.
3. Will RTO agents help navigate the treacherous waters? If so, pls do feel free to share the contacts of such an agent.

Here's what BHPian 2000rpm had to say on the matter:

Your case is so technical, a traffic havaldar will not get the technicalities. You can easily talk your way out of this if the number is still KA.

Here's what BHPian ninjatalli had to say on the matter:

If you want to tread on the legally compliant route, then a good RTO agent would be able to get this sorted out. Should not be a big deal. This thread has multiple contacts.

If you want to tread on the practical route, considering you have a KA number plate, I would just reiterate to an old saying (/ad)

“Fill it, Shut it, Forget it!”

Here's what BHPian sagarpadiki had to say on the matter:

Keep a color copy of the LTT paid receipt along with other bike documents and show that whenever the cops stop you. If you can speak kannada fluently, cops can be easily convinced. There is no rule that the number has to be a KA number. LTT is sufficient.

My colleague did a similar thing on his TN registered bike a few years ago. He paid LTT in KA in addition to TN and rode the bike in BLR for many years before relocating to Chennai. Cops did not bother him when he showed the LTT receipt

Have just scratched the surface in terms of her handling and I can only say she's got lot more in reserve.

BHPian vignesh.cv recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Couple of weeks back, we had a Level 1 track school & open sessions conducted at the Madras International Circuit. The heat was predicted to be scorching but I still went in knowing that I'll be roasted all three days of riding. 

The air temperature was 40+ and track temperatures were 65+ C. The first day was open track day i.e just open riding sessions and no coaching involved. I used that time to rebuild my sense of the track and re-familiarize myself with the bike. This time around, I was trying out the Metzeler TD (track day) slicks - they are more like endurance slicks that promises longer life, predictable grip and quick warmup in terms of working temperatures. I came away very impressed with the levels of grip offered, I'm no pro-rider but this was almost on par with the regular Pirelli slick tyres. The icing on the cake was the tyre life. With the regular Pirelli slicks, if you are riding at or close to pace, then you can expect approx one and half days from the rear tyre. With these TD slicks, you can easily do 2 weekends of track riding on one set of tyres. And the grip level is predictable. It does not drop off as the tyre wears out.

The bike was in good shape all weekend and propelled me below 2min mark for the first time. She was in the mood to shave off some more time, but I was exhausted by the third day. There was a bit of hesitation when I opened the throttle aggressively around 9k rpms. This was the first time since applying the DEF gold tape on the airbox that I was able to ride aggressively. So, I had a hunch that there was something to do with the secondary fuel injectors. Nevertheless, found out a work around by opening up the throttle gently and that kept everything going fine.

After coming back to the garage, we opened up the airbox and checked everything from the secondary injector resistance, to voltage continuity, to the relays that activated the secondary injectors. Turns out, when the airbox was re-assembled, the injectors were mixed up in terms of the cylinders. Each injector has a color coding and that maps to a cylinder in the bank. Since the injectors were mixed up, the fueling wasn't turning out to be precise - the wrong cylinder was getting the fuel because firing order matters. One more lesson learnt and discovered additional checks in this process. Now looking forward to the track school in June to see if I can improve myself.

Have just scratched the surface in terms of her handling and I can only say she's got lot more in reserve.

Open track time

Classroom session with L1 students

Ghetto AIM mount with zip ties

You can see the dimple on the rear tyre is very much visible, indicates that there is lot more tyre left to be used.

While cutting the PPF film, they even managed to scratch the body paint at one place, which is unacceptable.

BHPian pragyaal recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I recently got PPF (Paint Protection Film) applied to my beloved Royal Enfield Limited Edition Shotgun 650 at PRO Detail - Car & Bike Detailing - Pune , and I must say, I am utterly disappointed with their craftsmanship. I feel it's my responsibility to share my experience so that others don't have to go through what I did.

I decided to preserve the custom paint job on my limited edition bike, and after some research, I chose Garware Paint Protection Film . ProDetail Studio Pune, who got in touch with me through Garware, unfortunately, did not live up to the expectations.

Here's why I'm sharing this:

• Third-Party Applicators: ProDetail Studio Pune doesn't have their own PPF applicators. They hire third-party applicators who claimed to have their own shop and informed that they could have done same job directly at a much lower rate.
• Uneven Cutting and Application: The PPF film they applied is unevenly cut and not consistently applied end to end, leaving the finish looking subpar.
• Paint Damage: While cutting the PPF film, they even managed to scratch the body paint at one place, which is unacceptable.
• Uneven Film Cuts: The film cuts are very uneven, compromising the overall look of the protection.
• Incomplete Wrapping: Some panels were not wrapped end to end, indicating either a lack of attention to detail or an attempt to save time and material.
• Rushed Job: They completed the PPF application in just a few hours. Reputable applicators usually recommend leaving the bike overnight for 7Air Bubbles: After the application, there were numerous air bubbles. Their attempt to fix this by poking holes with a syringe only made matters worse, leaving scratches and making it look unprofessional.

I have attached images for your reference, so you can see the poor quality of work done by them.

Moreover, I paid a hefty sum of ₹15,000 for this disappointing job. Shockingly, the third-party applicator informed me that he could have done the job at a much lower price. This leaves me questioning the value for money and quality of service at ProDetail Studio Pune.

To add to the frustration, I attempted to contact reputed applicators to inquire if these defects could be fixed or if the PPF could be safely removed. Sadly, I was informed that in removing this film, the decals and logos will get peeled off. According to Royal Enfield, these decals are not currently available, so I might have to endure this substandard job for a few months or possibly even a year.

My advice to fellow bike enthusiasts: Invest a bit more and choose reputed applicators. I've had a better experience with 3M on my Ecosport, and it's worth every penny. Let's ensure our prized possessions receive the care and precision they deserve!

I pushed on towards my next destination, Vishakhapatnam, to visit the aircraft museums there.

BHPian kosjam recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

TLDR- I was in the border village of Longwa, Nagaland, where I was able to save my head from being mounted on the headhunter’s stick for a princely sum of, you guessed it, Rs. 150!!!

So it turns out, Mom was right all along! My head really isn't worth much.

Till as late as the 80s, Naga head hunters were actively hunting, well, heads and used their teeth and bones to make ornaments, with the amount of face tattoos signifing the number of heads hunted.
In the last 30 or so years, they have been slowly assimilated into society, with the older ones earning their tobacco money by extorting money from the likes of poor me.

So the story starts in December 2023, but it really started 3 years ago, when the plan first took seed in the above mentioned worthless head. The Eastern Frontier. The intention was to go all the way to the North East from Navi Mumbai, trying to avoid repeating a route once taken. Easier said than done, with some unsettling stories coming out of fellow bikers who had travelled through eastern UP and Bihar. As we were 3 bikers, there is safety in travelling in a group, isn't there?

Alas, lady luck did not favour me as the other two bikers had to drop out due to personal reasons. Immediately, requests, demands and instructions to delay the trip abounded from family as well as friends. But with a penchant for adventure, I was hardly going to be pulled back from my trip. As a compromise, I would come back the same way I went to the North East, hugging the East coast all the way. And hence the trip began, on 25th December, from Navi Mumbai.

Broadly I will divide the trip into 3 sections, Navi Mumbai to Guwahati, the North East, and Guwahati to Navi Mumbai. While the complete album holds over a thousand pictures, I have managed to condense it down to a few dozen precious pictures. Thanks in advance for giving me your valuable time.

So lets begin with Section 1:

Day 1- It was basically just riding from Navi Mumbai to Nampalli, Telangana. It was 760 km, on the very first day, and it was all I did, apart from finding a hotel and crashing for the night, ready to tackle the first sightseeing point of the trip the next day. My family and friends braved the cold winds to see me off on this journey. Warms up the heart when they think of such things...

Day 2- Visited the beautiful and majestic temple, devoted to the Lord Narsimha in the act of slaying the asura Hiranyakashyap.

The temple is on the far side of this picture, unfortunately partially hidden in the morning smog.

An otherwise beautiful morning with the advantage of having no crowd and the whole place mostly to myself.

From there I pushed on towards my next destination, Vishakhapatnam, to visit the aircraft museums there. But I got distracted by a beautiful dam and the scenic back waters which caused me to lose 2-3 hours to get some beautiful shots with the object of my love…

From there I pushed through the interior roads of Telangana towards the Coromandel highway(NH16), finally managing to reach it only around sundown, just in time, to be safe from the murderous trucks actively trying to run me off the road!!!

Day 3 – The next day I pushed towards Vishakhapatanam, and with its really chaotic traffic, I was able to reach only by noon, which turned out to be a boon, as the museums were scheduled to open even later, by 2 pm that day. As I had not planned on staying in Vishakhapatanam, I had no place to park my bike safely. After being looked down upon by a security guard at a local hotel, who insisted I park my bike outside like a zomato delivery guy, I managed to find an upmarket hotel which would allow me to park my bike in their parking for the low low price of a sumptuous lunch, here I happily deposited my bike, hogged on some Chinese food, and proceeded to the museum area on the eastern coast of the city.

 The first look at the line outside the museum was very heartening for me, far more used to seeing such queues outside temples than museums. Looking inside, the lines were justified, what beautifully done museums they were. One was dedicated to the Sea Harrier, with its impressive and thoughtfully laid out equipment, and the other was dedicated to the majestic (and massive!) Tu-142 Albatross submarine hunter.

There is a third museum, of a submarine, but it was too hot for me to get stuck inside a black cramped tube with hundreds of fellow sweaty Indians. Here you see it’s rear end, with its 3 propellers and a giant rudder.

The day ended with me continuing onwards towards Guwahati on the Coromandel highway(NH16).

Days 4,5,6- These three days entailed me riding sun up till sundown on my way to reach Guwahati. Met a friend in Bagdogra who had really friendly dogs.

Front forks are stiff. Probably as stiff as the new Duke 390.

BHPian hikozaru recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Checked it out and if there is one thing that stuck in my mind, it was the incredibly comfy ergos. So much room to move around, nicely shaped tank, light throttle, light clutch, brake lever is reachable, footpegs seem grippy at least a standstill, very nice heel plates.

Front forks are stiff. Probably as stiff as the new Duke 390. Rear shock seems to have a similar amount of sag for my weight. Unfortunately I couldn't really see what level the shock was at. The finish is objectively better than the duke 390 in some places but I cant help but feel the Duke 390 is nicer. It is like the Duke 390 executed plastic based design very well and the RS457 has just an average metal finish. The span adjustable levers, the nicer looking master cylinder, better switchgear on the duke, just feels nicer. Both dashes are good that I suspect it will ultimately come down whichever display has a higher refresh rate. The RS457 also suffers from yellow markings that plague the display bike like jaundice. I asked the guy if customer bikes will also be like that and he wasn't sure. The paint on the rims also looks terrible (which is true on all bikes), I think this would get better with some grime on it for a proper distressed look.

Engine is the best part. Strong bottom and mid range.

BHPian RD150 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Inspite of staying in Magarpatta, somehow never got a chance of test riding the X440. "2 Rivers" is the only Harley showroom in Pune, situated in Amanora Mall, Magarpatta.

Today decided to check out and ride the bike to see if can be a replacement of my aging R15 ( 11 yrs). So below are some of my observations/opinions after checking out and test riding the bike:

• The bike looks much better in person. Oodles of road presence but certainly not a beautiful bike. Maybe with time the looks may grow on me.
• Upright stance, seat is soft with good cushioning.
• Switchgear felt premium. The horn sound was pathetic. My fascino has better horn.
• Bike feels heavy at low speeds, not sure if this is a good city bike. But at high speeds you don't feel the 190 kgs. I am sure this bike will shine on highways for touring.
• Engine is the best part. Strong bottom and mid range.3 gears were enough for me to enjoy the bike. The thump too is sweet and adds to the character.
• Not the best gearbox, felt notchy, clutch too was a bit heavy.
• No complaints with brakes and the suspension.
• The display is clear but should have been bigger. Not a deal breaker for sure.
• Showroom experience was average. Maybe I expected more considering Harley as a premium brand. No feedback asked after the test ride nor did they handover the quotation, I had to ask for the quotation.

With the recent launch of Maverick, the top variant of the x440 at 3.55 feels a bit overpriced. I have a feeling Maverick will sell in good numbers, as people who are not willing to pay that much will walk into the Hero showroom after test riding the X440.

The seating position is nice and comfortable. The foot pegs are perfectly placed.

BHPian neil.jericho recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The launch of Royal Enfield's latest product - the Shotgun 650, was clearly missing the anticipation and buzz that Indian and global motorcycle enthusiasts had, for the company's long awaited Himalayan 450. The media reviews of the Shotgun 650 have been largely positive and revealed that with the new bike, Royal Enfield has addressed some of the shortcomings of its cousin, the Super Meteor 650, though the two motorcycles seem to be positioned to attract very different target segments. When I saw the invite for the unveiling of the new Shotgun 650 at the company's store in Bangalore, I didnt want to miss out on the chance to check out the motorcycle.

As was the case with the unveiling of the Himalayan 450, the event was well organized by the showroom team. The crowd was less than half of what it was at the Himalayan launch, which was a good thing for people like me who wanted to get a proper look of the bike. This time, a gentleman from Royal Enfield spoke on the ethos of the Shotgun 650 and a customer was invited to officially unveil the motorcycle. Like the previous launch, all the attendees were provided with a burger and a Paperboat juice packet, along with water bottles.

My initial impressions were that with each new bike launch, Royal Enfield is steadily improving its fit and finish levels. This looks and feels like a proper premium motorcycle, except for one little aspect, which I will come to in a bit. If you tell your envious neighbour that your Shotgun 650 cost Rs 6 L, he isnt going to doubt you for a second, as he checks out the bike with a feigned smile plastered on his face.

The seating position is nice and comfortable. The foot pegs are perfectly placed. This isnt a dyed in the wool cruiser motorcycle, which is what most people would expect, when they see the Shotgun 650. There is enough space in the riders seat to scoot forwards and backwards (which is not possible on say a Duke 399, for example). You can remove the back seat and strap on your luggage for touring. Or you could remove the rear frame and relish the striking bobber look. The price for this top end variant is Rs 4.7 L, while the other schemes are cheaper by Rs 10 - 20K (as far as I can recall).

The only thing which I didnt like about the motorcycle was the awful gap between the front nacelle and the clocks. A ship could sail through that .....

Overall, the Shotgun 650 isnt going to set the sales charts on fire, but I suspect that their owners are going to be a very happy lot. Though this isn't my favourite flavour of dream motorcycles, it certainly gets a thumbs up from me!

If the Super Meteor 650 is Royal Enfield's view of a cruiser motorcycle, the Shotgun 650 feels like their interpretation of a bruiser motorcycle. The Shotgun 650 is a bike that the lead character from a Guy Ritchie movie would ride.
