The detailed review will come in later, but for now: If you want to tour any bike will go but forget acceleration, overtaking with ease and prepare to give your wrist a heavy beating, not only because of the riding position but also because of the fact that you have to rev-its-everything off to keep it in the 'power'band, if at all you call it that.
But then of course we have also taken a Kinetic Blaze scooter around India 
Unfortunately this was my experience. |
Well said...in fact on many of my rides on different bikes and different riders, they all seem to have preferences across spectrum...but one thing that unites all riders is the need to have a machine that will hit the ton and stay at it for all the ridin time. Not to mention that there needs to be some reserve power at that speed to pull overtaking maneuvers.
On my recent rides, I found the ZMA, 220 and the Bull to be the easiest at that...this of course is my personal observation and others may have their own.
The low revin mill of the ZMA imparts that relaxed feel...the 220 has immense torque spread and feels powerful and relaxed at that speed too...the bull feels like an out of phase mixer at idle but is quite soft when one reaches a ton (dont know much about the bull tho').
