I am 29 year old guy and never rode bike before. I thought I am too old to learn biking now. But took a chance on this beast. It's been month and I fell in love with it. It is most noob friendly and forgiving bike. Thank you Hero for this and TFT.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
Someone who gives such a detailed ownership experience and not just a review, it certainly cannot be a paid advert for SURE. Very well put together details, the ones that would really matter to a buyer.
Great review video TFT..the best I can find on xpulse. I too completed 9000 Kms on this and the ownership has been peaceful. Great bike to own. People should stop comparing it with Himalayan or Adv 390 and should know what u r buying for what purpose and at what price point. To simply put it, for someone who is a 9-6 office guy, want to enjoy ur daily office commute, do some weekend breakfast fun rides, go touring once in a while (if ur job permits), want to have an adventurer tourer bike feeling, enjoy the off-road trails and develop ur skills and manage to do all this in absolutely pocket friendly way....then this is the perfect bike..
I have seen couple of Xpulse .. and all are making too much noise.. like engine noice chain noice.. is it common or.. because of bad maintenance... Please answer
When you say power in a dual sport it’s measured in the power it delivers in the trail. As you know momentum is key. When you are in a knee deep river crossing filled with loose pebbles your power delivery should be so linear that you keep moving. Some friends have changed the rear sprocket (they added the splendour one) and got a 2hp bump. U need to have as much power as possible. Travel light Lose body weight Pick light enduro helmets Lose saree guard Etc etc Finally a do it all motorcycle
Brother, even without owning the Xpulse (I plan to own the 4V soon), I can relate to the bond that you have established with this sweet, honest and non pretensive machine. The best part about this motorcycle is that it doesn't pretend to be a jet-fighter or a corner carving scalpel that the now retired (sigh!) Doc Rossi used to ride. I hope that the shortcomings / limitations you have mentioned, are resolved with the new Xpulse 4V having a better density foam, a brighter headlight and an easier breathing powerplant. But that's not the purpose of writing this comment; it is the way you present your review. The peace and tranquil that you feel with your ride is felt by all who view your video. You have this 'Zen' way of presenting your content and needless to say have an awesome command over your language (being a soft-skills and VnA coach myself, I think I am allowed to make that judgement). You aren't just reading out the numbers, what you do is talk from the heart. Just the stuff that matters, without all the flashy video effects and blaring NCBM tracks that other reviewers use to draw the 'junta' to their channels! Wish you many more happy and safe miles. May your partnership with this beautiful machine bring you more sweet memories. God Bless!
Personally, i think tube tyres are ideal for these off-road bikes coz of the hits the tyre and rim takes. When it hits a pothole the spokes don't let the rim take the beating saving you from rim damages, only the damaged spokes need to be replaced / toured :)
I'm a proud Xpulse owner and i could able to relate everything you said bro !!! The service, Ride quality, ergo, stance, suspension .... even the service .. everything is osm. I'm completely happy about my decision and thank GOD i saved upto 1Lakh by not getting Himalayan and saved even more in its service comparatively
I have been to ladakh by my splendor plus I use my splendor even for offroading also Splendor Plus is one of those legendary bike who has been surviving in the market for over 20 years
Getting my Xpulse home from the showroom tomorrow, after a long wait of 1.5 months. Thank YOU for making me want to choose it without second thoughts. Cheers!
Very rarely I come across reviewers who are as poised, honest, convincing and have a depth of experience on the machine they are reviewing. Yes, xpulse is no doubt a great machine, and the only reason I avoided it was because it came from the Hero's stable and on paper the specs were disappointing. Thanks for such a wonderful video.
Honestly the most accurate review i've found so far. I've recently purchased this bike for which i've been waiting for since rhe Hero Impulse discontinued. And i must say that the wait was worth it. Good job brother keep it coming 🔥
Dear Toll free Traveler, I am proud Xpulse 200 BS-6 owner. I just went through your video. It cover all aspects which are really essential for one who aiming to buy this machine. On serious note Hero Xpulse 200 BS-6 is really money worth bike for every rider who wishing to have an affordable dual sport bike. Now jump to the pros and cons, every bike has it's own pros and cons but Xpulse 200 just beat them all possbile ways. To be honest it's a bit underpowered but Indian road are not much good to ridden above 100kmph at constant speed. So this bike makes you feel very comfortable in any type of road conditions. Seat comfort need to improvised but you can make custom seat as per your requirements. Dear brother your honest review about Xpulse 200 is very helpful and positive surely 100% positive. I personally say thanks to you for making this wonderful, helpful and honest review of Hero Xpulse 200 BS-6. Those who are planning to buy new dual sport, performing and comfortable bike should go for Xpulse 200 rather to spend your hard earn money on other costlier bikes. Be safe and always wear helmet. Once again thank you so much.
Riding a motorcycle is like "taming the horse according to your preference and also taming yourself a bit according to the motorcycle" that's when you connect with it. No machine is perfect, we have to define it perfect in our own personalised way. Love the vlogs 👍❤️❤️❤️
My feelings exactly. I have done around 4k kms in 5 months, I enjoy riding this on the highway too as the engine opens up and I'm comfortable cruising at 90-95.
Im aspiring to do bike touring and with tight budget xpulse looked like a good option especially for its suspension but was worried about height issue and cruising speed of 80 felt a bit low. But looking at your vlog where you were cruising at 100 made me give it a second thought. Thanks for the detailed review, you clearly drew a picture of what the bike is and what it is not. Being from chennai i can relate your reference, especially parry's as my office is there. Weak side stand is a hero thing i guess had the same issue with karizma.
Each review of you is more of an experience thing and I love the way you explain everything. I get to learn a lot from you. Kudos to your storytelling. ❣️
Hero had a very good engine in Karizma, which should have been tuned to create a adventure-tourer bike. Just like Honda CRF230. The 223cc long stroke engine had quite a good low end torque as well.
I have around 5,00,000 km riding milage on Indian roads. Urban/rural/trail/highway/gravel/sand. From expirence I can say my number 1) preference is long/duel purpose suspension setup. Number 2) is minimum 19inch front wheel & dual purpose tyres. Number 3) comfortable seating position. Number 4) is good handling/balance. Number 5) is reliable & decent power engine. After fulfilling my itch on sports bikes, cruisers, naked bikes, vintage bikes I've reached to the following conclusion- 1) sports/naked bikes are useless on Indian roads, suspension setup will sour your back within a year. 2) cruiser bikes are OK for highway commute, but lack of suspension travel & small wheels will sour your expirence through speed bumps & pot holes. 3) while vintage bikes have good duel purpose suspension setup but lack in reliability & higher upkeep. Which led me to duel purpose bikes, these bikes are perfect for Indian unleveled roads, with pot holes and bumps. Can take on rural/dirt roads as well. And at the end of day, you will feel fresh, wanting to ride again.
I loved the review! I have just been waiting for so long for someone to tell me that ' if you want to do 700-900 Kms a day for a few days and reach a place and explore crazy routes' this bike is good enough :D that's all the confirmation I need. I guess I'll have to stay light with the luggage and make some modifications but I'm stoked to get this bike :)
Coming from a Pulsar 150 UG1 and then a Pulsar AS200, I was desperately looking for something that would pamper my back and keep the already apparent signs of spondylitis in check. Being 41, 125 kg and suitably unfit, that's a tough task... but I have to hand it to the Xpulse - this is an exceptionally comfortable bike to ride on all sorts of surfaces. I must admit that my decision to go for the Xpulse was majorly influenced by your channel (and by Bulu Patnaik and Nature Moto). It's only been 500 km so far, but I am falling in love with the bike. Thanks for the inspiration!
You really cleared all the doubts in my mind. And you made me realise something important that motorcycle should be something that gives you peace of mind. I was planning to get an used interceptor and later turn it into proper scrambler something like triumph scrambler. I had to stretch my budget a lot to get that. And turning it into scrambler would have added even more. Those hefty service and spare cost would have not give me peace of mind. I may have not enjoyed it to its true sense. Now I know which showroom to visit next month.
@@exploretheworld2forgetyourself Yeah bro but it depends upon you , If you are a solo rider with cruising speed of 80 to 100 its a good bike, I'm 60 kg so the seat is comfortable if you are big you just add little bit of foam you'll be good.
@@exploretheworld2forgetyourself its not a problem brother, my cousin is about 85 kgs and he loves to ride it and it suits him good, you like it just go for it.😉
Thank you Rohit. I was literally waiting for this video for quite some time on this channel, as I am planning to own this motorcycle in the near future (fingers crossed!) and thank you for the tips.
After seeing so much Xpulse videos, I can't stop myself to by this. But still mind is saying wait for Xpulse 300, but my HEART is saying forget the future & go for Xpulse 200.....& just Enjoy the BAD Roads...
Excellent review and production quality of the video& simple background music is excellent. I liked the fact that I could also hear bird chirping. The main things that made this video very pleasing and interesting to watch were the the fact that the video focuses on key points without full power "shouting" or background music or moving cameras. Keep up the great work
Very down to earth review. I really like you have simplified the whole experience.. peaceful and pleasant. Btw, what are these moto skivvy? Are they available in India?
Thank you - Yes, they are - these are the ones that I use - bigbadbikes.com/product/motoskiveez-adventure-tights/ These are the ADV variants - they also have different versions for cruiser and sports bikes.
@@TollFreeTraveller thanks a bunch for the referral. I checked out and they look comfy. How is it in warm weather? Have you used them in warm weather conditions?
Sometimes when I feel like traveling but cant due to situations I find myself watching your past travel vlogs. They always feel like one is there themselves. Nice video as ever
i had taken a test drive of this and i loved it, but nobody believes me that hero can make such an amazing machine, i was throwing is on bumps and speed breakers and was so overwhelmed with its comfort its suspension, seat height is so goood i felt very confident sitting on it that i can control this machine and manage it all situations good or bad amazing review bro🔥 much support 🤠
Three things: 1) when you ride it on highway, you will surely feel the need of a sixth gear, which i feel hero should have thought about, since its a 200cc bike 2) The pillion seat! Now i understand that the bike is made focussing more on the off roading aspect, but the seat could have been made a little more comfortable for the pillion. But again you can modify that if it really bothers you 3) The headlight, on the highway, even the old splendor's headlight shine out powers the xpulse's light! So hero should definitely work on that! In all the bike is a pleasure to have and fun to ride and at the price point ur getting the bike, nothing comes close for the kind of value it gives even after modifications it will still be cheaper than any other of its kind that are there in the market.
Beautiful bike... Beautiful explanation ... As a fellow Xpulse owner The sentence I related with most is "It can do everything" I am from Nepal and believe me I have tested this motorcycle in the toughest motorable roads there are in the himalayas... I had my reservations but the it was just routine for the motorcycle ...which was a shock ... And even after a year of riding the bike, it always bring a smile to my face when it glides over a tough terrain ...
Almost complete 1year with my xpluse 200 with 5000+ kms. Didn't find any rust issue in my motorcycle also exhaust is in good condition no rust. Going well..✌️✌️✌️✌️
@@exploretheworld2forgetyourself if you like Peaceful ride then yes and if want to Go fast and wants to cover 800-1000km in day big nooo. It's all your personal preference. What kind of ride. You like 😅
Thanks for a very encouraging review. I hope to hire an XPulse in Kathmandu when the pandemic lifts and ride it to Pokhara and Kagbeni; as you have done. This video make it certain that the XPulse is the best bet.
Do you know you have convinced me and i am sure many others go for this bike and rightfully so ... Not just this bike is pleasant and peaceful but so is your voice and commentary.. way to go !! Keep sharing
Riding activa for the last 5 years, and finally deciding to upgrade to Dominate 400 might not be a good idea after all, especially when I can go for this beautiful machine. This will definitely be a good bike to learn on. Will consider this bike for sure.
Man!!! I own TB350 and ridden more than 15k.....and when you said peaceful, I can literally feeling that how soothing it can be!! Can’t explain!! Thanks for this lovely video!!
@@TollFreeTraveller The best part is I also bought Xpulse for the same reasons: 1) Reliable 2) Budget friendly 3) Good suspension 4) Less weight 5) I can go on like this when I will compare it TB
Just love your content. Came across your video accidentally and got hooked to your channel. Honest, No nonsense, classy moto vlogger. Quality of the videos are simply great. Subscribed!
Thanks for highlighting the rusting issue. I have almost finalised on picking it up this year sometime. Following your & some other folks’ ownership experience keenly 🙂. Keep sharing 👍
I had 200+ km ride on this bike through rent. The best part of this to me was it's riding position(not big fan of sporty position nor cruise position). Another thing I was surprised was it's cruising control even at 100kmph in top gear. The one con I found was that the engine wasn't smooth at below 5th gear. Chains too make noise. Not sure if it was problem with maintenance. Review of BS4 version.
Iam Alexander from Hyderabad, I was eagerly waiting for your review on xpulse. Thanks for it. Hoping to meet you soon with my xpulse. Which I have booked resently it may take one month for delivery. Inspired from you.
most honest and perftect review i hv ever seen on youtube about xpulse bro... as a proud xpulse owner.. i can say it is good machine for urban as well as small touring category.. . but ya. You explained it very well for ones who s gonna get this machine in future in their garage .. well done
Small bikes completely overlooked in most of Europe. Suzuki DR200 the closest thing. 250cc class a bit more common. Look forward to seeing you on the next adventure.
I love mine. I have never felt the need for more power (I would have bought a more powerful bike!), as I seldom exceed 90 kph (I am very old!). Mainly ride tarmac and very light trails as I do not have the skills for really technical off-road riding. Suits my needs and style of riding perfectly. Thanks for the sensible review.
Sir i think hero should sponsor you The way you exaggerate your own experience is quiet drastic. Mostly i like the way you signify each and every part..
I am 29 year old guy and never rode bike before. I thought I am too old to learn biking now. But took a chance on this beast. It's been month and I fell in love with it. It is most noob friendly and forgiving bike. Thank you Hero for this and TFT.
You make a good point about it being beginner friendly. Very easy to ride
You are right even I learned on the same 2 months ago
25 year old here, never rode a bike just riding scooters activa/ access since 8 long years. I think now it's the perfect time for me to go for Xpulse.
@@jordaneshwar5317 Go for it man👍👍

Please answer
and yes, thats me! I am going for it! But 200 4V! :)
Pocket rocket in short.
I own 1 Xpulse 2V in Chennai.
I use this machine for everything like touring,offroading and ,city commuting it's not underpowered.
Yes, it is not underpowered .....
It is underpowered for highways
Is headlight good for night rides?
@@exploretheworld2forgetyourself nope
When you say power in a dual sport it’s measured in the power it delivers in the trail. As you know momentum is key. When you are in a knee deep river crossing filled with loose pebbles your power delivery should be so linear that you keep moving. Some friends have changed the rear sprocket (they added the splendour one) and got a 2hp bump. U need to have as much power as possible.
Travel light
Lose body weight
Pick light enduro helmets
Lose saree guard
Etc etc
Finally a do it all motorcycle
Xpulse is becoming a spiritual connect..proud owner of the BS6 version
How it's going bro ? I'm also planning to buy one... Will you recommend this to others ?
Brother, even without owning the Xpulse (I plan to own the 4V soon), I can relate to the bond that you have established with this sweet, honest and non pretensive machine. The best part about this motorcycle is that it doesn't pretend to be a jet-fighter or a corner carving scalpel that the now retired (sigh!) Doc Rossi used to ride.
I hope that the shortcomings / limitations you have mentioned, are resolved with the new Xpulse 4V having a better density foam, a brighter headlight and an easier breathing powerplant.

And one more thing.... My dad has fallen in love with it and he goes out with it whenever he gets a chance.. 😍
Aren't the tube tyres a big worry? Have u done anything on that front?
@@avikbose2629 I find tubed tyres go very well with the spoke wheels. It improve the quality and comfort of the overall off-road experience

Dear Toll free Traveler,

Thank you - Yes, they are - these are the ones that I use - bigbadbikes.com/product/motoskiveez-adventure-tights/
These are the ADV variants - they also have different versions for cruiser and sports bikes.
@@TollFreeTraveller thanks a bunch for the referral. I checked out and they look comfy. How is it in warm weather? Have you used them in warm weather conditions?
Loved your no-nonsense and honest approach to bikes and biking. We need more such down-to-earth bikers and UA-camrs. Thumsup to you.
Much appreciated! Thank you
Was waiting for this video.. Gonna get this beautiful motorcycle soon❤️❤️
Awesome. Glad to have been of help
Sometimes when I feel like traveling but cant due to situations I find myself watching your past travel vlogs. They always feel like one is there themselves.
Nice video as ever
Me too.
Thank you. Hope to hit the road again
@@TollFreeTraveller eagerly waiting for that
'No problems'
For someone who rides an Enfield, this sounds impossible...
Hahaha. I can totally relate to that
This is why we love your videos. Just brilliant! Simple and very useful.
Many thanks!
Sir accelerator, speed pogum ponga comment made me burst in laughter.. As always, love watching Rohit anna's videos !!!
Thank you so much 😀
No body on this planet can give a better review of an xpulse , cheers buddy
The Most Genuine Review That You Can Get From. Wonderful, Sir. Love from Odisha ❤️❤️❤️
City ride pain Cuttack area pain thik haba ???
@@swayamsujena8861 han sure, but for highway cruising pain padding must seat re nahele back re or else uncomfortable lagiba Bhai.
i had taken a test drive of this and i loved it, but nobody believes me that hero can make such an amazing machine, i was throwing is on bumps and speed breakers and was so overwhelmed with its comfort its suspension, seat height is so goood i felt very confident sitting on it that i can control this machine and manage it all situations good or bad amazing review bro🔥 much support 🤠
Absoulty Sir one day we will ride together - "Xpulse 200"
Look forward to it
The moment when you realise you had taken a path less travelled by and the satisfaction you get while you prove that you ve made the right choice !!!
Three things:
1) when you ride it on highway, you will surely feel the need of a sixth gear, which i feel hero should have thought about, since its a 200cc bike
2) The pillion seat! Now i understand that the bike is made focussing more on the off roading aspect, but the seat could have been made a little more comfortable for the pillion. But again you can modify that if it really bothers you
3) The headlight, on the highway, even the old splendor's headlight shine out powers the xpulse's light! So hero should definitely work on that!
In all the bike is a pleasure to have and fun to ride and at the price point ur getting the bike, nothing comes close for the kind of value it gives even after modifications it will still be cheaper than any other of its kind that are there in the market.
Definitely scope for improvement, but a welcome offering for Indian riders
Loved your style of reviewing the bike, slow paced and without any noise :-)
For a thinner exhaust, you can put the Adv 390's one, saw HDT customs guy do it, its not very loud and has a slim profile.
Can relate to this ? Absolutely 😊 Very well put, my friend. Love my Xpulse!
Thank you
Beautiful bike...
Beautiful explanation ...
As a fellow Xpulse owner The sentence I related with most is
"It can do everything"
I am from Nepal and believe me I have tested this motorcycle in the toughest motorable roads there are in the himalayas... I had my reservations but the it was just routine for the motorcycle ...which was a shock ... And even after a year of riding the bike, it always bring a smile to my face when it glides over a tough terrain ...
Riding this in Nepal must be crazy amounts of fun .I hope to do so too
Almost complete 1year with my xpluse 200 with 5000+ kms. Didn't find any rust issue in my motorcycle also exhaust is in good condition no rust. Going well..✌️✌️✌️✌️
How is headlight
@@exploretheworld2forgetyourself in full darkness it's enough but on road with road lights. I Didn't get brighter then road lights.
@@Bikernoxx is it good for long rides?
I am 5.11 ft
@@exploretheworld2forgetyourself if you like Peaceful ride then yes and if want to Go fast and wants to cover 800-1000km in day big nooo. It's all your personal preference. What kind of ride. You like 😅
@@Bikernoxx in week days I go to office
I weekend's only i go for long rides
Thanks for a very encouraging review. I hope to hire an XPulse in Kathmandu when the pandemic lifts and ride it to Pokhara and Kagbeni; as you have done. This video make it certain that the XPulse is the best bet.
That will be amazing fun. I really want to take my Xpulse to Nepal. It would be really nice to ride there
One of the greatest video on the xpulse 🦾. Been thinking of buying this sweet bike as a secondary one , after watching this , I'm sold 🤓
Content wise, one of the most sensible channels out there. Recently found you and have been hooked. Keep going brother!
Love from kerala ❤️
Thank you
Do you know you have convinced me and i am sure many others go for this bike and rightfully so ...
Not just this bike is pleasant and peaceful but so is your voice and commentary.. way to go !! Keep sharing
Having gone on a 2k km trip through Kerala last month, with an xpulse and a tb-500, I still enjoyed the tb, at the end of the day😂
Hi, great to hear that. Did you face any specific issue while riding that long? How much km you were able clock a day with xpulse? Thanks in advance.
For me, it's the opposite. Hahaha. Glad to be on an XPulse now
I've had mine for solid one year and boy oh boy this bike is fun!
How's the bike. Any problems ?
narrow seat not a pain in the butt, quite literally?
Man u just started tempting me to go for xpulse in future 😂😂😂.
Still not tempted... Go for it man.. The bike is awesome...seeing toll-free traveller buy this bike I also bought xpulse 200...
Better then Himalayan. Go for it.
That's the reason I bought an xpulse.. just got tempted by his xpulse delivery video 😉😉😉
Same here. I own a D250 and I love it but after watching this thoughts of getting an Xpulse are troubling me 😂
Actually bro😆
Riding activa for the last 5 years, and finally deciding to upgrade to Dominate 400 might not be a good idea after all, especially when I can go for this beautiful machine.
This will definitely be a good bike to learn on. Will consider this bike for sure.
@@munirajesh4707 sorry autocorrect 😂
I meant to say Dominar of course.
Bro could you please refer me the shop for Xpulse seat like yours? In Chennai
The most honest person soo far... Thank u for all ur content...
Thank you for watching
Seeing Your video is like doing meditation 👍
Man!!! I own TB350 and ridden more than 15k.....and when you said peaceful, I can literally feeling that how soothing it can be!! Can’t explain!!
Thanks for this lovely video!!
Hahahaha. Our heavily vibrated limbs are grateful for such peaceful riding conditions.
@@TollFreeTraveller The best part is I also bought Xpulse for the same reasons:
1) Reliable
2) Budget friendly
3) Good suspension
4) Less weight
5) I can go on like this when I will compare it TB
2:15 minutes just for the introduction😮wow.
Let him take time..we dont mind 😊
One of the most honest, thoughtful and logical ownership reviews I have ever seen!
Absolutely!
Thank you
Sent a hifive ✋, will be reaching you soon 😉
Just love your content. Came across your video accidentally and got hooked to your channel. Honest, No nonsense, classy moto vlogger. Quality of the videos are simply great. Subscribed!
Thank you so much. Great to have you here
Thanks for highlighting the rusting issue. I have almost finalised on picking it up this year sometime. Following your & some other folks’ ownership experience keenly 🙂. Keep sharing 👍
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
When man and machine syncs... the world becomes a better place.. good one bro👍🏼
So true!
Seeing your video become once in a blue moon 😂😅
But worth watching
I had 200+ km ride on this bike through rent. The best part of this to me was it's riding position(not big fan of sporty position nor cruise position). Another thing I was surprised was it's cruising control even at 100kmph in top gear.
The one con I found was that the engine wasn't smooth at below 5th gear. Chains too make noise. Not sure if it was problem with maintenance.
Review of BS4 version.
Hero makes you realize how other brands are a leach.
Unbiased review. Beginning to think that this is the perfect motorcycle for chennai roads. Love from Chennai ✌🏽😊.
Fello xpulse owners assemble
Just completed one month with my bike and was eagerly waiting for your video 👍🏻
Hope you enjoyed it!
Iam Alexander from Hyderabad, I was eagerly waiting for your review on xpulse. Thanks for it. Hoping to meet you soon with my xpulse. Which I have booked resently it may take one month for delivery. Inspired from you.
Congratulations. Hope you get yours soon
One of the honest & loyal person of very few people out there on social media 🤗🤗 What a great review 💯+💯
most honest and perftect review i hv ever seen on youtube about xpulse bro... as a proud xpulse owner.. i can say it is good machine for urban as well as small touring category.. . but ya. You explained it very well for ones who s gonna get this machine in future in their garage .. well done
Small bikes completely overlooked in most of Europe. Suzuki DR200 the closest thing. 250cc class a bit more common. Look forward to seeing you on the next adventure.
Love from Rajasthan ♥️. You're making great content brother. Kudos to you! 🎉
Lovely detailed review. One of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you
The whole structure was like a storyteller which was very commendable.. subscribed 👍
Thanks and welcome. Great to have you here
I love mine. I have never felt the need for more power (I would have bought a more powerful bike!), as I seldom exceed 90 kph (I am very old!). Mainly ride tarmac and very light trails as I do not have the skills for really technical off-road riding. Suits my needs and style of riding perfectly. Thanks for the sensible review.
I'm in a similar space and ride easy most of the time. This suits me well too
Sir i think hero should sponsor you
The way you exaggerate your own experience is quiet drastic. Mostly i like the way you signify each and every part..
Lots of love from Odisha awesome video bro.. and thinking of buying it as my first bike..
I would love to see you back on roads on long trips....Lets hope things become favourable...Waiting for your wonderful videos...👍🏻👍🏻
I hope so too
So soothing to hear. polite and truthful. Thanks for sharing your review.
