    If you are tall enough and of average strength, weight is not an issue at all is what I am thinking now.
    Moved around the switched off Roadbuster in the garage, quite a bit, with two feet on the ground with no issues at all.
    Shorter riders might have an issue due to tip toeing.
    Oopsy...I am 5'7" and 65 kgs...I did tip-toe a bit on the display bike at the showroom . Guess in realtime it will be a tough job

      You will need the seat lowering kit to keep things safe.
      Remember this will be an issue while pushing/parking it only.

                There are 2 places.
                One is Narasapura CCD just beside IOC petrol bunk and Kolar Adigas is about 7-8 km ahead from there.

                          Not weekend exactly. I go whenever i feel the urge to ride. The sbk groups usually prefer breakfast rides. The kolar adigas is the preferred destinations on the kolar route. The kamat at chikballapur being the one on hyderabad route, belur ccd or hotel mayura for the mangalore route, rasta or ccd on mysore road, hosur mcd on hosur road and tumkur ccd on tumkur route are the destinations for sbk groups.

                          I might be riding tonight to kolar ccd or rasta.

                              Past 250 on the odo ! Roadbuster rumbling along doing its job with lazy ease ( Busting loads of shells as well ) !
                              A hoot to drive even at 4K RPM strewn with exactly 3 burst of shade under 6K RPM on the highway.
                              A hot knife through butter through the hosur road, silk board traffic while grabbing attention galore at the lights with her menace !
                              A 195 kms to and fro trip with a pillion and quite a few breaks for the beloved arse !
                              A great first longish haul on her ! All fuel bars down ! Another tankful awaits, this time from SHELL to find, if there is a difference
                              Let the Pictures do the talking ! Few other faster ones lead the pack
