Hy [MENTION=80443]FuNa[/MENTION] bro... yes...here in chennai, I got a quote of 2,02,585 on road for standard edition last month when I went to test ride the bike. I believe the pricing doesnt change in a month's time.

For the tourer edition they have given me 2,20,585 on road.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Hi,

I got it yesterday and rode in peak Bangalore traffic for about 50kms. It is very easy to steer, at least for me, but owing to the disproportionate weight distribution and the heavy front end, taking U-turns will take time getting used to.

This is something I felt while my TD also, but I was happy enough to go with it considering the overall package and also the fact that I will get used to it. I guess the FZ will be easier to flick in traffic.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Hi bro...

Let me put up some of my points before you go ahead with a selection. Both of the bikes which you have chosen are wonderful machines. No doubt in that. But, I believe you will use your next bike as commuter as well as touring. Both of the bikes gives you what you ask for with some terms and condition stuffs.

I dont own a mojo yet, but soon going to be a owner of this beautiful machine. Honda, I believe after sales service expenses will be high which will be equivalent to Duke which you have owned. Honda has already got a name on the market. So we all know how reliable Honda is. Mojo is not bad either. They are just growing. So you would need to give them some time to show who they are.

From my experience, what I will suggest you here is, please talk to the mojo owners and visit a showroom and test ride the bike. I believe there are 2 famous showroom in bangalore for Mojo which is NAVS motors and Alfa motors. Talk to them and get some technical knowledge about the bike from them. Test ride it. Right after test riding it, go to honda and enquire for CBR 250r and check whether you get the same treatment over there. I bet you cannot. Because, for others selling their bikes are much important. But for Mahindra, there customers are more important.

Also, I know the BS3 version only available for sale. I am little worried that, if the BS4 version of CBR 250 comes, they will reduce the power like they did in the hornet. If they do, its a waste. Also remember, if you are going to get the BS3 version, you are going to be a second owner of that bike.

If you are tourer, I would prefer you to go with Mojo 300. And if you are craze about the Fairing bikes, you can go with CBR.

I still prefer Mojo because of the 21 lts fuel tank and the reliability of that engine. I believe you might have seen the video where the Mojo has ran over by tractor and it still gets up and runs like saying" That's all you got " Just think the situation of Honda at that place.

Choice is yours as the ball's in your court still. So think wisely and make a option. Because, later you should not regret over the option you have chosen.

Good luck Mate. All the very best.

Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks alot mate for replying, i have took the test ride 2 months before and liked the sitting position of the bike as its more inclined for touring and as you suggested will go to NAFS again and shall meet other mojo owners to know the bike character properly before making any decision on my purchase.. thanks buddy..

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences


Even I was in the same dilema like you. Then I got a chance to spoke with 2 of the mojo officials and one Mojo owner from my city chennai.

From officials speech and the confidence ownership from one of the owner, I came to conclusion on choosing Mojo. So, that is the reason I am suggesting you to talk to any mojo owners. You will know the real characteristics of the bike and the service.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I got mine yesterday. Did almost 50 kms just to see how it handles in real traffic and was super happy with how I managed, considering the fact that I have not spent any time with the bike. I also got my tourer jacket that comes free with the paytm booking, since they had my size in stock.

Why the Mojo

Hopefully my justification will help prospective owners. I am an RE lover, been riding the Electra for more than 6 years and it has been a reliable touring companion, as in it has never failed me on a trip – except for one occasion on which the tail lamp unit decided to fall off on its own. But as with almost all Res, I have had several issues – suspension, brakes, lights, engine knocking, fork seals and what not. Luckily for me all these have occurred within the city. There is always the fear that something might breakdown when I am on a long ride, especially as I ride with my wife. I have also been longing for a comfortable cruise at highway speeds which is a far cry from the bone jarring experience of the RE. With the maintenance costs getting higher and higher I decided to move on.

Bikes considered

Triumph T100 – Yes, I did consider it seriously as I was looking for a major upgrade initially. Loved everything about it, but this would require me to get a loan which I have never done in my life and I didn’t want to start now, though the emis were quite affordable. So started looking to move sideways, while addressing the concerns I had with RE.

2017 Duke 390 – Considered since many friends tour on dukes. Loved almost everything and the equipment detail is unmatched, but on a longer TD found the riding posture to be a negative since I come from a lazy riding experience on the RE. The longer I drove, the more pressure I put on my wrists. This could well disappear with time, but I was not entirely satisfied. Didn’t help that my wife almost got lifted off with the mad acceleration on offer. It was still the one bike I considered up until the last moment, but finally decided against it as I am not going corner carving and more importantly did not feel a personal connect with the machine. Maybe I am too old for the duke.

Dominar 400 – It rode well, has good equipment on offer for the price paid and frankly there isn’t too much to crib about at that price point. But like the duke, there was no connect with the machine. I cannot pin point what it is, but I just did not find it appealing enough.

Mahindra Mojo – Was last on my list, but a TD changed all that. It was a proper Harry Potter moment, the wand chooses the wizard kind of stuff. The moment I plonked my ass on that seat, I felt happy. This is the posture I am looking for. The moment I cranked the engine, the exhaust note won my wife over. By this time I was praying that the TD be smooth and that I don’t find too much to complain about.

Loved the TD – smooth gear shifts, linear acceleration and enough power on tap for overtaking a couple of cars on the relatively open Old Airport Road since it was a Sunday. Went for another TD with my wife to test the pillion comfort, and she was happy even with the smaller seat on the BS3 model but opined that there was little room to move around. The front heavy design was the only minor sticking point, but I was sure I would get used to it. Found the brakes adequate enough to take the plunge now, rather than wait for the ABS version.

Now that we loved the bike had to decide on the color, since the black and white Mojos come with elongated seats while the color I liked best was the volcano red which came with a shorter seat. After multiple discussions, decided to go with black which was still a looker while also offering the comfort of the longer seat. Another reason to go for black is the option to paint it to matte black a few years down the lane, which I almost always end up doing, without too much of a hassle from RTO. Which is why I did not opt for the Crimson Red that is now available with the new seat.

Himalayan was not considered due to the horror stories and RE maintenance, Benelli’s for their service costs.

Initial impressions –

Have done just 50 kms. Acceleration is linear and adequate for my needs and ride quality is fantastic. Downshifts are a bit “clunky” for now, but upshifts are smooth already. I found the brakes to be quite adequate for our traffic conditions.

50kms in Bangalore traffic translates to a fair bit of time on the saddle and wife was happy with the pillion seat, though we have to see how she manages over longer distances.

It is extremely easy to steer which is great, but when combined with the heavy front end, there is a tendency to oversteer when taking U-turns. Noticed it with the TD bike as well, but it is just a matter of time before I get adjusted to this.

The headlamps are not great, but the fog lamps make up for it if you ever need them during night rides on unlit roads. Only concern is the reliability, as these fog lamps are aftermarket parts. The fog lamp switch is horrendous and have already told Farhan that I will need to change it once I come in for first service. Finding the side stand is a bit of a task and it is a bit too close to the exhaust for my liking.

Planning on a weekend ride, will update on any good/bad bits that I encounter.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thank you acme. I guess turning is something that everyone should get used to. Planning to take an extensive test ride ( if i get my hands on one ere in chennai). Most likely will decide after that.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences



Crimson Red that was delivered yesterday along with mine. Looks good in flesh although I felt it wasn't that photogenic. They have one more on display if anyone wants to check it out. And it comes with the longer seat.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi.. read your review of your Mojo .
I'm 6.2 tall and 32 years old, presently riding Unicorn 150.

I'm also very much interested in Mojo but for commuting mainly and occasionally touring.

Everywhere and everyone uses Mojo for touring. Can't it be used for commuting?

How's the paint quality?

N is Mahindra going to stay in the long run in two wheeler market?

Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi, I have heard like Mahindra have closed down their 2 wheeler facility except mojo and there are few dealers in whole india which can provide spares & service, not like royal enfield which have service network in whole india including smaller towns..so what is the assurance provided by mahindra if the bike broke dowm in between no where in any state where you don't have any mahindra service center miles apart..

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

I don't see any reason why you cannot use Mojo for commuting. I rode to office today in peak traffic The two days that I have had the bike, I had no issues maneuvering it around. It is a big bike though and moving/pushing it when the engine is off is quite a task, as I found out today in my office parking lot.

But yes, the characteristics of the Mojo should make it an ideal choice for touring. Doesn't mean it is not suitable for commuting. Long term owners are probably better placed to answer your question. For what its worth, my Mojo will definitely be used for commuting as well.

As for Mahindra being in the two wheeler market for long, your guess is as good as mine. But with the Jawa and Yezdi plans and Mojo exclusive showrooms in the pipeline, I think it is safe to assume that they won't go out of business any time soon.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

I guess the assurance is that the Mojo is not going to break down as much as an enfield

Jokes apart, Mahindra has a RSA service and they will tow your mojo to the nearest service centre, within a 300 km radius although I have to confirm the exact details. I think they tow it even beyond this distance at an extra cost. This is free for the first year and you can opt for it at a nominal fee in future.

Re: Mahindra Mojo Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks for this. This is a good enough reason not to go in for mojo as already for sales itself they want me to travel 300-500 kms to take a test ride in Coimbatore city
