Little insight about me:
I own a classic 350 since past 5 years and have ridden only on small rides around my place and to office. Never ever I have been on a long trip. But I love watching videos on youtube about long trips people do on motorcycles.
I took my classic 350 on highway a few times but did not enjoy due to the vibrations and anything beyond 80 feels like the bike is going to fall apart. I however love it for short rides.
firstly I am confused if I really like long distance motorcycle travel or it is just an emotional hype created due to youtube videos. I have been into such videos for many years now and really wish to try it but on a big bike.
I love the Versys 650 and have test rode it few times. Have ridden dominar as well but was long back.
Things to note against each bike:
Dominar 400:
- It has all the features needed.
- Its cheap to maintain and own
- Worst thing is Bajaj sales and service guys attitude, it feels like they do not wish to sell bikes.
Versys 650:
- Heard only good things about it.
- Expensive as compared to Dominar 400
- I am not sure how to maintain Versys as there is no service center in my area and the nearest one is almost 250 kms away.
Heart says Versys but mind says Dominar.
Please help me with the following:
- How to find out if I really like long rides on motorcycles or is it just a craze created due to youtube videos I have as I have not done it yet.
- Is versys 650 really that different in touring as compared to Dominar 400 considering it is 4 times more expensive.
