    Ok. One of my friend had bought a V1 and with request he managed to get a 20km test drive from a showroom out here in Mumbai...See if you can approach a dealer in your place after all you have a genuine problem... Also since you say your travel requirement is 35km per day I think your wrist can manage it only if the road is good.. If its similar to off-roading, then it'll be a harrowing experience for you..

    Just an advice: Consult a physiologist and take his advice if possible, because we can only advice regarding the bike but we can never even come close to knowing what exactly your wrists can bear.
    I had done wrist rotating exercise and suryanamaskar before I bought her so I never got any wrist pain right from the start...Just minor stress was there which went in a few rides but yes for bad roads, its heavy on the palms even now after more than 3.5k Kms done...

      I really doubt that will happen here.. The dealers are not that friendly here.. A few dealers(includes the one whom i bought from) dont even allow a test ride for R15s.. Most of the dealers here have bad reviews in terms of sales,customer satisfaction and service..

        I accept! There are not dealer or service centres that are customer friendly. I think most of the dealer don't even have a bike for customers to test drive. Anyhow with my fingers crossed I am going to approach a dealer in OMR and ask for a test ride. Will update about my experience if I could get the ride!

                      • Finally decision on color

                        I have finally decided to turn my 4 yr old dream into reality.Guys though this might sound like a question of personal choice, but still i would like to have pros and cons of different colors so that i can decide on color.

                        My view:
                        1)Red/Blue
                        2)Black

                        Pls suggest.

                        Safety doesn't happen by accident.....ride safe ride longer

                          Hi,

                          Hardest is black. Even a small spec of dust will be visible.
                          Easy to maintain is blue.
                          That was my opinion and choice.
                          Look at my baby after a wash and wax

                          Cheers and safe riding
