Hi,Firstly " Wish you all a very Happy & Prosperous New Year".
I have been a member of XBHP since years long and appreciate the efforts the community has put in for Bikers and Most Important the awareness of Safe Biking in India.
But Post I have started to work and other commitments in life didn't really find the time to visit XBHP as often. But Still Enjoy the good old days of riding a CBZ to college and getting tips from guys in here on the tunning of the same. (Still love the bike.Was a stellar of the bike back in the days and held the crown for years ahead)
Years passed by from the CBZ days and my passion just grew for biking. (who doesnt love life between the two wheels)
Later graduated to Yamaha R15 v2 which i still posses and love her to the limits.
But off late have started to feel some back pain with the bike especially with the pillion along.( as i am almost aged 30 already showing some signs of wear in the body
)Also, Post Marraige i am not too sure how much should i be riding solo in the future .Also my wife is not too comfortable with the pillion seat ht.
Hence, 6 months back started my search for a more comfortable bike for both of us and have shortlisted the below ones with some budget restrictions though.
1> Harly Davison street 750
2> Kawasaki ER-6N
3> RE Continental GT.
Have test rode the street and Continental in the recent past . Though didnt get an opportunity to ride the ER-6N Have tried the Ninja 650 which i believe will be on similar
lines as the En-6R
Street 750- My Impressions on the street 750 which was remotely one of reason for my upgrade as per my intial test ride at the 7-island showrrom Thurbe, Navi Mumbai had a cramp in my thigh due to which didnt fint it too convincing.
(I am not sure the reason maybe its the fact the currently riding an r15 and a sudden change in the stance causing the pain) And months later i again test rode where i didnt have the cramp this time around but the complete
ergo felt somewhat different to comfortable where i got reviews that its a comfortable bike riding it was different when had to change gears or while braking. Need advise from existing owners on this.Also standing at 5'11" i should not look out of place on the bke
Also need to understand about the Harley tax and the price of ownership. As i dont think i can dig deep into my pockets .Also i could not find much ownership reports on the street even our forum has had only 2 till date from its launch.
RE Continental GT- Loved the bike . Best refined RE engine. But afraid about the Ergos and the pain it might cause in the back.
Hope you guys can help out as i planning for one this new year early And also would like to ride it for the valley run this year around. (New year resolution - try to take out as much time and make as many bike rides around maharatra as possible)
THANKS A TON ,
SRIRAM
