Hey guys!!
I am Prashanth from chennai.
30yr old, 6 ft, 82 KG.
My usage would be mostly weekend runs on highways 200-300 kms per week with occasional office commute during weekdays.
I am looking at an entry level 250-400cc category.
1. Dominar:
Not happy with it as it doesn’t give a big bike feel. And also the fact that its become a cliche these days.
2. RE:
Again, this is a cliche. Every 10th bike I spot is a Royal Enfield.
3. YZF-R3:
Again, Lack of big bike feel. Weight less and looks small when a 6 footer like me is on the bike.
4. KTMs:
Nope. Aint my cup of tea. Obviously for the reasons that its too light and that makes it look like powerful which it is not exactly too.
5. Hyosung:
Love the big bike feel. A feel of a super bike. Talking about GT250R. Downer is lowest capacity, 250cc however I like the stability due to its weight. Loved this and one of my top choice. Of course spares are rare and service is costly. And pricy too. ABS version around the corner expected 4.2 OTR chennai. Too aggressive seating. But a sure shot head turner especially the new green color.
6. Benelli 302R:
Love this bike too. Flattering exhaust note. Only downer is that the bike looks like a fazer on drugs. Huge front and a rather contradictory small rear with hell a lot of gap between the rear wheel and mudguard makes it look a bit odd. Dual disc and ABS yet lacks the puch of good braking. Similar to hyosung maintenance is a bit pricy.
7. Ninja 300:
Beautiful machine, costlier spare of all the choices listed. Lack ABS at the price point is the only thing that makes me not to choose this.
To conclude:
I am literally left with three if not two choices, the 302R, Ninja 300 and GT250R.
Need some more inputs from the experts here to help me.
I am looking for a sportsbike with a big bike feel, heavy, head turner, Normal on pocket for maintenance and a reliable choice.
Budget: can stretch upto 4.3L
PS: not interested on Cruiser models as we already have one in family. The Hyosung Aquila Pro.
