      Re: Hello xbhpians!

      Well, I own a Bajaj kawasaki boxer, which has been my sole companion for almost 8 years and my dad's before that. I've done quite a few trips on that and one of my best feats was I guess once when I rode to coimbatore from my place (Aluva, Ernakulam) in just a matter of 3.5 hours. It was quite early in the morning and hence the traffic was less. I thought my baby might break down after doing 80-90s for quite a long time, but to my surprise, he was quite fine and responsive throughout the ride. I did almost a 100 kms there in coimbatore and came back, all the same day! Quite frankly, we never rested that day. Now you might have a vague idea of why I'm so proud of my boxer! 😉

          Boxer u must be getting exceptional FE, those bikes were built for the fuel crisis era, I still love the simplicity in them, cheers and keep touring,

            Thank you octane_fx, used to get 90kmpl when my dad rode it, now that I have it, it has come down to a mere 60kmpl. Facing a lot of issues nowadays with the bike. It's like I get something fixed once, but something else gets broken. Even did a full check up and fixing at the Bajaj showroom (hated the disgusting look on their faces when they saw my bike), but eventually I realised that my bike is the same and I simply got ripped off.

              [MENTION=35119]octane_fx[/MENTION], simple as it is, the exhaust note is quite cheerful 😍. The power is pretty decent for city commuting and good enough for highways, only without a pillion rider. All thanks to the kawasaki engine! ✌️
