Honda CRF 300L Owner Tries XPulse 200 On Trails: Here's Her Comparison

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 20 бер 2023
  • Standing 5 feet 4 inches tall, Nerine Mak doesn't shy away from riding extremely tall dirt bikes. In fact, she has a Honda CRF 300L back in Singapore on which she rides enduro, and has considerable experience on some KTM EXC-Fs too.
    In India, on a small trip, she came out riding with us on our local trails - her ride here, a Hero XPulse with a rally kit that was lent by one of our friends.
    In this video, I chat with Nerine on her riding background and what she feels about the XPulse, keeping her Honda CRF 300L in mind.
    Let me know what you think of this video in the comments section below.
    As always, thank you for giving me your time.
    Have a great day.
    Cheers

    She is expressive enough to convey all the details which is fantastic. That's big slap for the people who criticize short riders who can actually ride tall bikes with right techniques and practice. Cheers to Nerine and her boyfriend. God bless all.

    Thank you Abhinav for bringing these personalities to us thru UA-cam!😊
    I really loved her knowledge and the way she projected it. It was clear that she was carrying a great riding experience and was quite technical in her approach.
    Man, I can't even ride a motorcycle yet, and it was so easy for me to understand what she was referring to. That's what I really like, a person with an ability to expand other people's minds! I'd like to get knowledge from her, and may learn from her. Imagine how tremendously amazing of a teacher Huren, her companion, must be!
    I feel we too really need to be a learner and may be attend Schools and all after we have Known to operate the motorcycle, so that we get the know how of extracting more and more out of our machines, instead of buying a really big and fast machine, which does most of the work for us, which we may or may not be able to tame, instead of we working it out, which should be the correct way, I guess.
    I gotta get a bike ASAP!

    Abhi hi.. CRF throws power of 23Nm torque whereas whereas Xpulse barely delivers a 17Nm (on paper)
    And thats end game. No more arguments. Check mate!!
    I had waited for nearly 4+ yrs for Honda to open up CRF250L in India. Had a wish to own a real-off roader!
    Xpulse barely scrathes the surface as one.
    I bet Hero will never make "a real offroader of that calibre" but only go around hyping that "its one of it" whereas in reality the current releases they have in pipeline are mere an extension of
    "uncle resembling commuter bikes like hero honda splendor"
    Moral of the story being : Its may be very easy simply fool around indians by calling Xpulse - an offroader/rally class, just by mere adding a cheap ground clearance and a bit of insignificant suspension systems.
    Pls note "the offroad bikes like road legal CRF series" have just a different science altogether during manufacuring.
    My mechanic chacha had similar modified bikes built a long long time ago via. Bit of lazy, poor Modification system.
    One thing for sure: The day Honda realaeses CRF L series in India market - these XPulse guys will be thrown out of water. Cos many indians will only then realise the feel of what is it that differentiates a real offroader from prvailing extended commuter bikes like Xpulse series
