Re: am in a confusion in choosing a bike for "saddle sore".......!

from the above 3 given bikes.. we can't tell you which would be most suited for 'you'..
as all 3 are trust-worthy bikes and would stay with you all along..
do this.. ride all 3 one by one for maybe 100kms each and the one you find most comfortable for your body, choose that..
you can't do a saddle-sore on a bike which make your bum cry..

and also check the threads of riders who have completed this milestone and see what other preparation to do, apart from choosing the bike..
and all the best

Re: am in a confusion in choosing a bike for "saddle sore".......!

You have ample time to consolidate all the responses in this thread in the next couple of months. Organize yourself properly in advance! I would consider the cost of maintenance before getting my hands on either one of these bikes or rather make new choices.
Good luck!

Saddle sore you need a comfortable bike to ride so check which bike you feel comfort
mostly you can check Avenger or Thunderbird based on there comforts cost and stuff

@ TS- the NS n CBR250R are 2 bikes that can effortlessly cruise at 3-digit speeds and are quite refined too. But you need to test extensively for your personal choice

Rather than asking "which bike to choose" , buy any bike and "Get used to it"

@Kiran Gowda Saddle sore is as much about rider as much it is about bike.
Of the three mentioned bikes, which is your bike?
I would recommend attempting saddle sore on your beast which you have been riding for years or months and have developed a bond with. Do not try a new acquaintance.
We have riders who have achieved saddle sore success on old bullets, 150 cc bikes. So there is nothing like right bike for SS1600.

Waiting For your Reply

No offence, please, do this circus out of this country; it's not only risky, since xBhp stands for SAFE MOTORCYCLING, I simply don't advice you in carrying out such heroic attempts. They're not only waste of money & time, but doesn't fetch you anything, instead focus your time on clearing any arrears you have or pursuing some other opportunities beyond education, be it even safe motorcycling.

Re: am in a confusion in choosing a bike for "saddle sore".......!

harsh words aargee but thats the bitter truth in india atleast. before replying i bumped into your comment and shared similar thought. but i wanna put it in more "less harsh" way to him.

there is no such thing as "perfect bike" for the SS (saddlesore). you my friend are blinded with the achievements of others. those guys probably have ridden thousands of kms across cities and sates and over many hours, building up their endurance for the SS ride. A SS is all about the endurance test of the rider and as well as the bike. but the main being the rider. the other reality of SS in india is that many have died doing it, that too in horrible way, you might have not heard of it much because they died and never lived to tell tale about it like the guys who completed it.

just yest i attended a ride, where i met people who have achieved it on a 3 decade old RD350 and stock gladiators ( its was a yamaha riders ride so telling about it). few guys have done it on r15v2, r15 v1 too. so its not just about the bike. your choice of the bikes tells me again that you are looking for 1. looks 2.power. you said you are a student, so obviously you will ask your parents to buy the bike for you. have you told them about your so called "SS dream" ? i am guessing "no". i am pretty sure they dont want their child do such thing.

while doing a SS without any much experience of riding, you will go through lot of pain. fatigue, pain in butt,shoulders,back,legs. night riding will be the most dangerous. you need to explore yourself first as a rider and then attempt it.

No one here will encourage you for wrong thing but no one will either discourage you.

my only advise will be, explore yourself as a rider and not as a wannabe.

Re: am in a confusion in choosing a bike for "saddle sore".......!

I too am a student and yes such thoughts do come into your mind when you look at other's achievements. What aargee sir told is EXACTLY what I feel. Being a biker, do not get easily blown away bro. Its good that you have the inspiration. Work towards it slowly. Not on a sudden shot. You din't even know whch bike to choose when its pretty obvious that the main requirement for an SS is the nature of the rider. Work towards your goal slowly. Do one day short rides first. Keep it going till you get a hang of it. Then increase your distance. Plan and work it out. You may get offended by few replies here but they are all trying to educate you on this. Don't worry every student has this rush! Am lucky I learnt controlling it thanks to xbhp.

When you do long distance rides, it is very essential that the bike is reliable and trouble-free. Of course when it is a new bike the chances of trouble are very very less. However in emergency situations, you may not find a repair shop nearby. What would you do - first aid???

From the day you purchase the bike, please get acquainted with your ride. Not by just servicing it regularly but by understanding it 'gradually'. Listen to its exhaust notes, observing the response to throttle, the mileage and whenever your bike is operated by doctors (read mechanics). This way you develop curiosity to know the mechanism of your ride and how much your ride could satisfy you ;-)

I personally feel that these kind of activities develops the relationship with your bike. The best one to me is when I bath my ride. Just my 2 cents bro!
I am not sure if our colleagues would acknowledge this or not, but try it once you get your ride!

Good luck on your SS!

Re: am in a confusion in choosing a bike for "saddle sore".......!

Truth is always harsh & bitter & the fact is that it really takes guts to accept it. I've told what I experienced, not just hear say. I find more & more vehicles, more & more morons coming up every month on road; it's only going to get worse.

Re: am in a confusion in choosing a bike for "saddle sore".......!

Just out of curiousity, what bike do you own currently and what is the max kms you have done in a day?

2 things. First I particularly have come to realize in time that only you can choose your own bike. Others can only say what they feel, not read your mind.

Second, saddle sore huh? not to discourage you or anything but have you thought this through? It takes more than a bike to do this. People have toured India on discover 100 of all things. The biggest challenge is money. Since you are a student where would you get it from? Parents? Please dont do this to follow fads. What concerns me most about e-biking these days is people read about something and jump in for it. Riding is like any other skill, takes only days to learn but takes a lifetime to master.

If you are serious about saddle sore first learn to ride and negotiate indian roads. In time, if you still feel like it then go for it.
