Between the two the Street 750 any day!

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Apart from the bikes in your mind, I would like to tell you can have a look on Suzuki Inazuma as well, apart from the riding position it fits very well in all your requirements

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Thankyou so much, I will surely research on the suzuki and come on people rack your brains there has to be more than just 3 cruisers in India in this range, do not want an avenger or royal Enfield. Please reply with suggestions, also remember it must be a cruiser and it must be under 5 on road.

Brother just saw the suzuki it is not a bike I am looking for as it's a 250 and hence I have my reservations of it being able to maintain itself at a speed above 120 kmph for hours on end. I maybe wrong, do correct me if so.

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Street 750 is good but suzuki gixxer is also good for crusing at 100-110kmph speed and it comes half the price as compared to street 750.

You can have a option have Aquila GV 250. Don't have much info about it. Maybe other members here can help you with review

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Trust me the Quote "There is no replacement for Displacement "has not been coined in a day or two.
Look at some other threads on Hyosung motorcycles. Most of the Owners have not covered any real milage and others have reported trouble with brake pad frequent replacement and electronic malfunction.
Secondly Hyosung bikes do not sport a Cruiser motor , they just look like cruisers. 4hrs of constant riding on a freeway at 7k rpm is not fun on any vehicle!
you could score a used superlow somewhere around 5-5.5lc . next is Street750. Great bike this.
If you cant find what you are looking for , trust the old name and go for a RE500

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Sir the RE's lineup is having alot of problems, I am trying to score an old machismo 500. The old bikes are much more trust worthy than the new ones and the RE is way too common and a six month wait. I am willing to.go upto 5 lakhs, the superlow is out of the question because of its 100mm ground clearance. Also the 883 has a huge problem, primarily it's a superlow in another body for a lakh more with a tank of 12 litres. If say I extend the price bracket upto 7, any clues then as to a good bike. I am considering the bonneville

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

I am sorry , but did not comprehend what huge problem 883 has?
as far as 100mm GC is refered to on Superlow, it isnt such a huge problem as it is made out to be . Also it can be solved withing 5k expense (rEFER MY THREAD IN SUPERBIKE SECTION ON HOW TO iNCREASE GROUND CLEARANCE).
I have been using Superlow for over 16months and has clocked over 20000km with Increased Ground clearance. I have taken her to some very broken remote parts of country and mountain roads, Its all I could ever ask from a motorbike.
Its absolutely fantastic motorbike for Highway and has lot of class for the price being asked for.

You asked for a cruiser , and bonnie is no cruiser. not that it will refuse to go places. but is it soo out of character
Bonni is a bike for New bee bikers. It is well suited for people who have been away from Biking for quite a while. They find it docile and easy to get along with.
Although it too is not a comfortable long distance two up touring machine , more of a cafe hopper. If you are looking at Bonnie than Ninja 650 does whatever bonnie does and does it better too.

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

See that is why I like these forums, they give information that showroom sales person won't give, to be very honest except for the ground clearance there is not a single bad thing about the superlow. The iron 883 is the same bike with a lakh more price tag and a different body, same engine.,same out put, smaller tank. So not into the iron. I will surely read the thread and thank you so much. The showroom sales person didn't tell me about the method of increasing height, I didn't ask cause I thought it couldn't be done. Thank you so much. May I please know the mileage on your bike, if you don't mind.

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Do have a look at at Aquilla pro, triumph bonville, street triple, - this may cost you around 5.50 to 6.50 lakhs.

if i were in your situation, i will get the ninja 300 and roam round. it can sustain 120 and comfortable and can take 2 people.

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Lol the showroom guys dint tell you how to increase GC because they dint know about it.
Ground clearance kit has been designed& developed by me and is being used by multiple superlow owners for over an year now.
More details you can find on my thread.
My bike has clocked 20k just yesterday and fuel economy range from 23-26kmpl on highway and 19-20 in city commute.

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Hello Obi Wan,

I do not know what Dustom means by "real mileage" but I have covered 14000 Kms on my ST7. Apart from a fault speedo which was immediately replaced under warranty, i've never had any problems whatsoever. It is true that they have a sportier motor in a cruiser body but 5 hours of constant riding at 120 kmph has never been more pleasurable...120 is a sweet roll for this bike and she moves like butter.
Comfort wise you simply cannot compare the ST7 to a superlow. The ST7 is in a class of her own.I say this because of the difference in riding stance.
What Dustom says is true that apart from the GC issue, there is not much wrong with the Superlow and that too has been resolved by Dustom's ingenuity!!(Hope you have seen his thread)
It will eventually come down to your preference with looks,comfort and if you are too much into it then your preference of DOHC over Pushrod motors.
Brake pad replacement will depend completely on how you use/abuse your brakes. I've changed my first set now, after 14000K.
The above is purely my opinion..and I hope this thread does not turn into a tangent for DOHC v/s Pushrod technology
Happy hunting!!

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.


Hi cruiser13.
Sorry that the post came out that way, i have no problem with people actually riding the damn thing. 14k km is pretty decent mileage and it holds more meaning than my comments on Hyosung since i have not ridden it extensively.
But i have seen lot of Hyosung bikes being hitting the classified , and owners keep lowering asking price , still don't find enough takers.

I have said it before and will say it again, sportster are not the most comfortable of bikes around. But the surely are true to their roots. Infact most of them are just a grade up than being complete hard tail. But thats the charm of it. People looking for a pleasure biking for weekend getaway or so will appreciate a temperamental machine more. Just my take!
Having been on all sort of power full bikes , well almost all! What i can tell you is love for an automobile is not about speed or acceleration or comfort. Its about hormone flood in your head. Its about the kick!
A flight travelling at 800kmph is no fun! I wonder why?

Re: Cruisers under 5 Lakhs on road.

Hi Dustom, three cheers to your post. I have seen those ads too. I guess it comes down to upkeep of the babies in the end. I know atleast one chap on the forum who sold his ST7 coz it started hurting his pocket.. Replacement parts like drive belt n pulley aren't cheap by any standards. I'm sure it's the same for HD. All I can say is I wouldn't sell my baby for the world. Even if I go to the market to pick up sabzi on my bike, it gives me a supreme sense of occasion just to start her n get rolling[emoji4]. And keep up your posts, really look forward to your magic
