Dear All Subject Matter Experts,
I have just been through purchasing a bike a month back, with fairing, sporty, tour oriented and dependable. It is of-course inspired by more a dream than a practical need. I am talking about N650R, what helped was the reviews and experiences of fellow BHPians.
Again the same dilemma like a father going out for suitable match for his son or daughter, but this time it is other way round i.e. a son is out in search of perfect partner for his father but the catch is that match I am talking about is a machine that will suit him and his riding style. (This is also a marriage of sort, I know all BHPians would agree on this)
He is in his 60s..5'8' good built that his existing discover 125 looked always tiny but did the job of a daily city commuting. Budget (whatever I am left with after N650R, in my kitty
) is nearly 1.5 L.
It will be my gift to him on my coming birthday, as can't see him any more on a 10+ year discover (nothing left to be discovered after all these year in that bike in my opinion). It has practically becoming unsafe by each passing day despite him spending everything possible to keep her in shape. Hard Truth Indian conditions can make any bike searching for breath after this long ridership.
Some considerations, he won't like bikes with fairing or too tall bikes..like dukes.. kind of thought on Classic 350 (RE) as he like the bike (I notice the look he gives when one pass
). My problem is the doubts that bikes is very very less reliable on lonely stretch as he loves to commute long distances on bike instead of public transport (Convenience and confidence on his riding than on an unknown driver).
Any help will be highly appreciated.
