Indian Roads and Ground Clearance Reality

This is such a big bike and Indian roads are of the type we have, because this is built according to foreign conditions. If we check its ground clearance, the ground clearance is like this. We will call it low, yes we will call it low.

When you open this, you can see the fuel section. You have to press this and then your fuel tank will open.

If someone takes this bike and fuel needs to be filled, he will get confused because without the key it will not open. Until the key is detected, all parts get locked. All these parts will automatically lock if the key is not present.

This is a DCT bike and it is fully automatic. There are no gears in this bike. It is gearless, it is automatic.

Engine Sound Experience

Now I will explain what automatic means, first let’s listen to the sound. Can you rev it? Yes absolutely.

Okay, now we will switch it off.

Riding Experience in Indian Traffic

This is such a big automatic bike. There is a big logic behind it. But how does it feel to ride? I feel a very good experience.

If a person wants to ride a bike in Indian traffic, there is no need to press the clutch. Like in Harley, even my Harley has a very hard clutch. This is clutchless. There is no clutch in this bike. Look, there is no clutch at all.

And on this side, there is no gear. So what kind of experience does it give? It feels very good.

This bike looks massive but it is easy to drive and easy to manage. You can take it anywhere in traffic. Wherever you want to go left or right, it turns easily. You can put the bike wherever you want.

Comfort and Seating Position

Let me sit and show you. To sit on this bike, we have to sit like this. After sitting, it doesn’t feel like you are sitting on a big bike even if the rider is tall.

Its handling is different. The handle used in this is also different and is placed a little higher.

Shaft Driven System and Unique Steering Setup

If you see here, this is shaft driven bike. There are shafts inside it. They have created a different steering setup.

When you see this bike while riding, the shock looks like it is bouncing and it is visible.

Steering Logic Explained

The logic is that the tire is far ahead and the steering is behind. The handle is behind, so the control is from behind.

Normally when you ride a bike and turn right, the handle and headlight also move right and left. But in this bike, only the tire and handle move right and left.

Because the bike weight is so much that if they had moved headlight and everything, it would have put too much load on the front tire.

Long Ride Capability

This is not a bike, this is a car. A luxury car.

Where have you gone on this bike till now? Actually my father rides it. My father has gone from Delhi to Mumbai and also Delhi to Hyderabad.

What is your father’s age? My father’s age is 45.

This proves that age is just a number. Bike is passion. You can go anywhere.

Premium Features and Loadings

If you look from the front, it has fog lamps. It has carbon fiber trims on left and right side mudguard. Then it has a full bezel.

This is looking amazing. Unbeatable looks.

Hand Brake Like a Car

This bike has a hand brake. If you are standing on an incline and you don’t want the bike to roll back, you can apply the hand brake and the bike will not move.

This is literally a car on two wheels. This is its hand brake. You lift it up and to release it, it comes down like this.

Electronic Windscreen and Wind Protection

This is an electronic windscreen. It goes up with a switch.

My height is 5’11 and I come completely under the windscreen. Wind blast does not come at all.

If you feel hot, you can open this and adjust the windscreen.

This closes like this and they have provided wings. If you open it like this, it will reduce the air hitting your face and chest.

Lighting System and DRL

If you look at the side, it has side lights. It works as daytime running light. When you give indicator, it blinks along with indicator.

The chrome element inside is also different and chrome is available separately for this light.

Rear Storage and Top Box Space

If we come to the back, it has so much space that a full party can happen inside.

This is its spoiler and below it there is a separate light. This is brake light.

Then carbon fiber trims are there, fender tip is there.

Top Box Storage Capacity

You can keep a full face helmet inside it. It is called lid organizer. You can keep car RC, small screws, and other small items inside it.

Saddle Bag Storage System

Now how do the side ones open? For that, there is a button. If you press this button, the saddle bag opens.

The same luxury mats are inside as well. It is very smooth. Press the button and it opens.

Heated Grips and Heated Seats

This has heated grips and heated seats for riding in winter.

This is the heated grips button. When we press it, it shows on screen. It has five heating modes. You can heat the grips in five modes.

And you can heat the front seat and rear seat in five modes. There is a separate analog control given.

So in winter, the rider will feel warm and cozy while riding.

Speaker System and Stage Upgrade

Now let’s listen to its speaker system.

First tell me what is the difference between stage one and stage three. Stage one is company provided, it comes with four speakers. And stage three has all four speakers upgraded and it has a separate amplifier, which we have already fitted inside the storage.

The biggest plus point of this bike is its heating and its speaker system. If someone rides in winter, he can enjoy listening to songs properly and feel great.

Pillion Comfort and Arm Rest Accessories

This bike is called a car. It has a separate back rest. They have taken great care of the pillion comfort.

We have installed arm rests for the pillion. These are external accessories. Small arm rests come so that the person sitting behind can rest their elbows.

Rear Light Visibility

This rear light is glowing. When we press the brake, it becomes brighter.

This does not look like a normal red light, it looks unique.

Negatives? Almost None!

Now we have seen all plus points of this 50 lakh plus bike. Now in these bikes, there is always some negative point.

But I have been riding this bike for 3 years and till now I have not found a single negative point.

The thing is, a person’s heart should be good, then he does not see negatives. He sees positivity.

Tire Life and Tire Cost

Like we talked about Harley, Harley tires are a big minus point. In this bike, the tires run around 15000 km in one set.

The tire cost is reasonable compared to Harley. This tire cost comes around 50000, while Harley tires cost 80000.

Service Cost Like a Small Car

If you ask the service cost, the service cost is like a small hatchback car. Just think about it, its service cost is around 20000 for one service.

Easy to Maintain Luxury Machine

This is Honda’s elephant which is difficult to buy but not difficult to maintain.

People say buying an elephant is easy but maintaining is difficult, but this elephant is easy to maintain. Buying is difficult, maintaining is easy.
