Bro we're moving towards a politically autocratic government, BJP has bought out everyone either through money or other means, even the supreme court is happy taking money to give favorable judgements.
If someone files a PIL they throw it out saying its conspiratory in nature against the country's development.
It's very bold of you to assume there's ever going to be a change in the ruling party.
The current opposition is negligible to actually make the ruling government think about their decisions, actually it's been a while since the parliament had an opposition that any sort of wits or backbone.
This is all evident by how confident Gadkari has been pushing this ethanol initiative even though everyone can connect the dots that paints a picture that's extremely self serving for Gadkari and sons but when you buy out the media who gonna question the government's decisions?
You protest, you're labled traitor and anti-national.
Democracy in India died a long ago, when at least some media were willing to question the centre's laws and actions
Rahaman117
Numbers?! You're being an Anti-national by showing us data based results.

While I agree with you on how Honda sees india the cb650 caters to a different set of people, who love a bit of a retro look and has linear power delivery, it's basically comparing a 5L V8 muscle car to a 3L litre V6 or inline 6 sports car.
Z900 has a lot of power but feels unwieldy for daily use, I have driven it a few years back from one of my colleagues, in my opinion it's a pain in the ass in traffic but feels wonderful on the open road.
Cb650 is more liveable as a daily commuter and better inside cities as well as the highway.
Both are inline 4s but Honda adds its own spice of electronics and the e-clutch from what I hear is a peach of an addition so that adds value.
Of course, the fabled reliability of Honda also plays a factor when people choose it.

Patience is something Indian drivers have very less of to be honest, some have a lot of ego while driving as well.
He could've just stayed behind the truck and wait until the guys before hime to complete his overtake but nooo I need to show my small dick by overtaking at the worst possible time and not give the guy who's already overtaking any space at all.
It's why I hate group rides, it's a common trope by now that group rides have become dick measuring contests, nobody wants to ride as a group, they just wanna race around which makes the point behind group rides moot.

Bro what the fuck are you smoking? Have ever driven a motorcycle or better yet driven a vehicle at least?

He does have a rough past but the choices he makes are his own after he took his revenge for his partner's death and the current Kellogg likes the violence. He's fully aware of his actions and choices.
This is just me but I also feel he's a coward, after years of taking out people but when finally he's confronted against someone who fought his way through his Synth minions and what does he do? Again throw a lot of synths against PC and uses a stealth boy like a pussy.
So NO, kellogg isn't honorable nor redeemable.

Bajaj can fucking fund moto gp bikes for ktm but not build anything above 400cc in India is my gripe with Bajaj.
Imagine if they brought back the duke 690 for under 6L.
Of course, India is commuter heavy market and nobody really cares about performance but building at least one 600cc bike in India would mean I don't have to go for the continental or the interceptor.
Imagine putting the same 690 cc engine into a pulsar, of course they haven't even updated the Dominar engine even after Duke's engine has been updated for so long so getting a pulsar with a 600cc engine is still a pipe dream.

At least ktm riders can't intentionally push people off the road just because their ego got hurt.
Dumb comparison, A Thar driver is much scarier than a KTM rider, I am someone who rides daily around 80kms for my commute and I never get this "Oh shit, a KTM, better avoid this guy" alarm but each time I see a Thar I get that internal alarm instinctively even though he's driving sanely.
Before people say I am biased towards bikes, I consistently avoid scooters like a plague as well.

While I agree with people arguing about him standing on the Zebra crossing, I also think back about pedestrian behaviour in India where people refuse to walk on a footpath and cross the road, however dense the traffic might be from places where there are no Zebra crossing or traffic stops, at least he stops at a red light, that's a improvement or rather a compromise I am willing to take in a nation where people don't give a fuck about rules.
Rahaman117
What the fuck? This is just criminal OP. Name and shame the service centre so that people could avoid it.
Rahaman117
It depends,if the product itself is good but sales and service experience is shit then go to a different showroom. If almost all of showrooms are like that then it means they don't have an incentive from Aprilla for customer service and it's better to avoid that product because you have to deal with these people, at least initially
But If you are someone who likes to give your bike to a garage rather than service centres then you can consider taking the rs457.
The rs457 is an incredible machine but I have heard that sales and service of the bike isn't up to the mark in a few places.

I hate such people to the core, especially when I driving a car, like buddy fuck off the road and text in your home.

Have had my bike for 2 plus years now, never has it left me stranded anywhere, made more than six 900 plus km rides so far and many smaller rides and daily commute and I drive it hard. No problems mechanically nor with electronics.
TVS bikes are known for their quality, it's why it's famous in Africa, I remember a top gear episode where Hammond uses a TVS star city to transport fishes, I'll take his glowing words more than anyone in this sub.
If your TVS has trouble then you're an unfortunate soul that had somehow got a lemon or the service centre fucked up something.

I fucking hate group rides and people who participate in it, no offense to you OP but I don't think our civic sense and roads are not suitable for large group rides.
I prefer at most 2 or if someone twists my arm, 3 riders at most for group travelling and that too on similar bikes, having a setting of different powered bikes and/or scooters into the mix also creates frustration.
I have travelled at max 1000 kms per day and that's my limit and it might not be same for others as some of my friends fold after 70kms, this is also another factor why I avoid group rides altogether.

Flashbacks of Kuze riding his motorcycle in the sewer just to fuck you up

Yeah fuck the rocket 3 mates, "Scrambler" 400 for 24 lakhs is such a steal, I can even use it practically for Indian roads.

Something similar happened to me, although nobody raced me but a moron cut across two lanes directly from a divider suddenly on to my path and I couldn't stop in time, this was a highway btw and people driving in cars were much faster than me, I was at 60 kph max. Anyway, the guy riding a scooter of some sort came on to my path crossing from a divider and we both fell, obviously he had the brunt of the damage due to the momentum and weight of my bike transferring on to his scooter, but since I was driving a "sporty" looking bike I was blamed, naturally.
The moral of the story is, nobody in India knows traffic rules and the people gathering for such accidents to make trouble are simply unemployed crooks looking for a quick buck from someone else's misery. Police are worthless, they'll bribe all of the people involved in the accident and call it a day.
Anyway, relating to OPs case, I always slow down significantly when someone tries to buzz me for a race, this gives them clear message that you're not interested and sometimes these morons think they've "won" the race, which is fine by me.
The only thing I told to the guy who was involved in the accident was that he could've been smushed had I driven a car or some lorry.

Hey OP, every bike and manufacturer can be a pain in the ass depending on where you live because it depends on how seriously the showroom and service centre take their jobs in solving your issues.
You don't interact with the brand directly, instead you speak with their representatives in showroom. Now it doesn't matter what the manufacturer says regarding their quality, if the service centre don't have proper mechanics to service your bike then you're likely going to face issues down the line.
Regarding Aprilla quality, from what I've heard it's a hit and miss but that's purely as an outside audience, for people who complain, we don't really know what they put their bikes through. You can't really dump a brand because you can't be bothered to follow the user manual of a 5L rupees motorcycle but on the other side those complaints can also be genuine.
The complaints about build quality has been recent, from what I remember the bike had glowing reviews and the only issue was it's brake pads fading when it first surfaced but that could be because of only journalists reviewing it.
I'd suggest to wait and see if build quality complaints are prevalent and then decide.
Also, research about your local dealership, visit them, see how they treat you as a customer. If they're ignorant towards your query and generally don't really care about selling then avoid such places at all costs. Check some reviews about service, customer satisfaction regarding servicing of rs457.
It's a wonderful bike, there's no denying it, it's your ability to live with it that should decide your final answer.

Lol, this would never happen because this pussy would keep running every 2 minutes and then asking his Cerberus whores for help and if he's feeling especially cowardly/salty he'll probably ask for a portable genophage gun from his daddy TIM.

Genuine question, even if it's an aftermarket exhaust, if the decibel range is within the legal limits can they still fine (harrass) you?
Although cops using the decibel measuring tool is as rare as a dinosaur, but that's a whole another can of worms.
Also, I've seen police seize bikes that have stock exhaust as well, like people who ride high end bikes. Cops have no idea what the actual legal decibel range is, if they hear exhaust note a bit different or higher than your average SP125 they try various mental gymnastics (and rev the shit out of your bike) to seize your bike and more often than not use violence when bikers protest.
I've seen police seize a Hayabusa a lad just took delivery off for "different" sounding exhaust note. It was very funny seeing the guy try various arguments when the rider was literally trying to say he just took the delivery of the bike.

Genuinely made me laugh
Would have be been okay if she shut the fuck up as she settles into a new life but nooo, she just doesn't stop throughout the whole game.
She doesn't even apologize for acting like a bitch even after we resettle her in sanctuary, it's why I always assign her to a caravan.
PS: It's how she was designed in-game but that doesn't mean she's less annoying. At least her husband speaks from his heart about the loss of his child to relate to us.
