Default Suggestion : Nagpur from Bombay on P180

Hi Guys

AM just about 20 mins old to this website and i like it already. Great job!

I am planning a trip to Nagpur from Bombay on my Pulsar 180.. does anyone know about the roads and weather conditions and frequency of hotels and petrol pumps on that route ? I plan to make this trip in November.

Thanks and Cheers!!

Hey dude,

I know a guy who did Faridabad to Bombay in 25 hrs in his Ford Ikon.. Averaging around 100-120km/hr. so i guess by bike this could be about 48 hours, maybe less then that if you are only a Pulsar 180 :-)

Hi Skullpture.I am from Nagpur and one thing I can tell u for sure is tht ur trip is definitely viable on 180.My brother did the same trip almost 6 years back on a LML vespa select.The roads are very good.Distance comes to around 900 km If I m not wrong.One thinh I wud advise you on is to plan your route on the roadmap.You have many options regarding using the highway throughout the journey or going through some towns/cities on the way which can cut short the distance.You plan to go along with a pillion or are you going to ride solo?
