    You’re sharing real facts and authentic experiences-hats off to you, man! Truly inspiring. It takes real courage to share your story and make such a bold shift from being an RE enthusiast to a KTM lover. Plus, dealing with the fear of being labeled 'chapri' requires guts. Respect!
    I believe 'chapri' is purely a mindset and the result of actions by a few hooligans, not true bikers. A motorcycle can never be 'chapri'.. it's just a machine, a work of engineering and passion. ❤️❤️

    I have a Duke 200. I used to be a KTM hater. KTM means " Chapri" bright orange means "Chapri" , then like you I needed Power, Mileage for daily long commute, since I loved R15 that went out of window because of aggressive sitting position, MT15 also didn't workout due to short pillion space. Bajaj has this chain sound issue. For some reason I started looking for KTM videos. Got to know how elegant these machines are. Also realised it's not the Bike it's the riders which are the problem. Now I proudly own a Duke 200

    My friend has an Enfield. Whenever we ride together he asks for my KTM to ride and I get to his enfield.
    Recently I told him, "bhai humse aur na ho payega"
    First thing in RE that the weight distribution is shit. Second it's very heavy. Third it's brakes are trash. 4th it vibrates like crazy etc etc and 99th is suspension and ride quality is shit

    I live in Thailand, I was gonna buy the RE interceptor 650, and I ended up buying the Honda ADV 350 (it’s a 350cc maxi scooter not sold in India unfortunately), and I do not regret one bit, it’s got a massive unseat storage so practically is great, very comfortable to ride cause it’s really a touring scooter,and enough power for my needs, the drawbacks are it’s only got 11.7l tank but it can still do more than 300km of range, and the suspension is damm stiff. Other than that I’m happy, however I will eventually buy the RE interceptor Bear 650 cause I fancy owning 2 bikes, a maxi scooter and a muscle motorcycle.

    Amazing video Brother. Felt connected. I personally love the 390 adv just because of that engine and weight. Its sets the adrenaline pumping and also it is quite reliable even after delivering such high performance. But recently I have started to grow on the looks of Himalayan 450. The standing weight is a lot though but love the exhaust of Him450 and I have heard that it is very flickable once you start rolling.
    Which one would you prefer and why ?

    • @The_MotorNomads
      @The_MotorNomads  2 дні тому

    I never say KTM is charpri i always appreciate KTM for value for money Tech loaded motorcycle but i didn't bought ADV 390 because i didn't wanted a single cylinder bike this like so i finally bought a SM650 from RE and o god this bike is a masterpiece a gem..

    No worries the latest line up Royal Enfield bikes are also mostly cosmetics and repair parts will definitely make a huge hole in the pocket. Was planning to buy a Meteor 650 but it Just didn't make sense owning one as the repair parts were so damn expensive. Stiffer Suspension, decade old left mirror issue, chain issues and 3rd class headlight even in the premium bikes. Luckily there are so many good machines out there other than RE they does so many things better in better pricing and reasonable affordable maintenance cost.
    Would I buy an RE, yes if I have money to spare and use that motorcycle only for short rides to cafe 😊

    • @The_MotorNomads
      @The_MotorNomads  5 днів тому

      Both machines are great. The suspension on the ktm are really stiff which has its pros and cons and the seats are not comfortable, rear seat specially.
      Triumph on the other hand has comfy seats and suspension but there isn’t enough room at the rear to have pillion and luggage both.
      I would suggest you to take test drive, spend enough time with both bikes before you get ready to make the decision.
      Happy Riding!!
      FYI: there’s a new ktm launched and pre bookings are going on. You can check that well. Though it will cost you a lot more than the triumph.

      We all know that in India, we don't have great roads for bike riding, so you can't go over 100 km/h for long. (This is not an issue with the bike, but in terms of road safety, one wouldn't even dare.) The Scram 400X runs smoothly under 100 km/h, which accounts for 90% of our riding.
      Kudos to the plush suspension and quality materials!

    If you had Thunderbird 500 you wouldn't have been talking power. Yeah old REs have their issues but newer REs like himalayan bs6 don't. This is coming from owner who owns both Thunderbird 500 and Himalayan 411 bs6. I still remember thunderbird couldn't start 3 days later when I first bought it but the newer Himalayan I took it to many tours left it parked for months but didn't give me issues. Rear brakes are not adequate yes, but that can easily be fixed but using Ceramic pads in rear. Also the sound of Thunderbird500 accelerating is the one I prefer over even gt650s.
