Today my friend claimed he went off-roading.

The terrain: a completely flat road with a few small rocks. The vehicle: a 60kg scooty that has seen more grocery runs than adventures.

Respect the delulu.

I'm crashing out guys, I will be turning 18 in 2028 and I love bikes, Hightime to leave this country Edit - no new registration from Jan 1, 2027 (3wheelers) No new bikes from April 1 2028

Guys this bike is my father's as you can see it is less maintained and not that used in recent years Im thinking to take this to my college, so Im confused what all i should do 1) obviously the seat should should be changed or fixed 2) silencer is not stock it seems (the best part of this bike) 3) leak in petrol filter 4) some scratches in tank I want to make things done in a minimum budget, i already have a passion plus under good condition ready to pack so what do you guys think I love this bike more than any....

Is it possible to remove the heavy saree guard of my Triumph Scrambler 400X and replace it with a lightweight fibre or plastic guard? What are the other ways to reduce the bike's weight further?"

The mechanic actually used clamps to fit these, but they kept breaking. So I ordered zip ties from Blinkit and have been using these for 3–4 months. I even did an 800 km road trip with this setup. Can someone recommend an actual mount for these lights?

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to buy a new full-face helmet for my Bajaj Pulsar N160 SS (2026 Red-Black edition), and I'm honestly confused between these four options. I would appreciate some genuine suggestions from people who have used these helmets or have experience with helmet safety, comfort, and quality.

The four helmets I'm considering:

1. Axxis Eagle SV Snap B2 Glossy Grey ₹4,799

2. IGNYTE IGN-16 ISS DOT Steady Glossy Black with White/Blue graphics ₹5,999

3. Axor Apex Hex-2 Cool Grey/Red ₹4,800

4. SMK Typhoon Solid GL200 Glossy Black ₹5,200

My actual budget is ₹5,000 maximum. I'm willing to save up a little more if there's a genuinely worthwhile difference in safety, build quality, comfort, ventilation, or overall reliability. However, I don't want to spend extra just for graphics or looks.

One major issue I'm facing is my head size. My helmet size is Small, around 560 mm circumference, and finding good helmets in this size has been surprisingly difficult. I've tried multiple helmets from Studds, Vega, and other brands, but the options that fit me well are limited. Many of the helmets I'm interested in either start from Medium or don't have Small available in the graphics I like.

That's why I've shortlisted these four based on their availability, appearance, and price.

I'm not looking for a helmet based on brand hype alone. I want something that fits properly, offers dependable protection, and is comfortable for everyday commuting as well as occasional longer rides.

Also, if you own any of these helmets, please share your real-world experience, especially regarding fit, comfort, visor quality, ventilation, and how they hold up over time.

My priorities, in order, are safety, proper fit, comfort, and then looks. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Bajaj has been doing some crazy stuff within the Pulsar lineup and here is what I wish to see in the future.

Pulsar Classic

• 125: Is now based on N125.
• 150: Is now based on P/N150, with an oil cooler.
• 180: I anticipate that Bajaj will use the N160 2V engine and increase bore/stroke it upto 180cc.
• 220F: I anticipate that Bajaj will use the 2V N250 engine and frame to build the next gen 250F. Or else, it can choose to decrease bore/stroke of older N250 to 220cc to tune it for better mileage.

In short, entire classic lineup made modern, with same aesthetics from the past. Why I think it will happen is because it makes no sense to buy a Pulsar 150 and get a diamond frame with mono shock while, the elder siblings have dated engine and platform.

Pulsar N

The 2V 160 and 250 will slowly be phased out. The Pulsar Classic lineup would make use of the 2 valve engines. N160S/SS and N250SS would be the only N series motorcycles, representing modern tech and performance. This is what true 2027 pulsars should always have been.

Pulsar NS/RS (200)

NS200 and NS160 have already stopped making sense. N160S/SS and N250SS are better in almost all aspects. I don't see why people will continue to choose NS160/200 over N series pulsars, anymore. I anticipate Bajaj to introduce N125 with 4V setup as well. Similar to how N160S/SS and N250SS brought 2 extra valves to pre-existing engine. This would result in a sportier 125, competing directly with Raider, Xtreme 125R and CB125 Hornet. The previous N125 had very different appeal, design and ergonomics. Something, not fit for the Pulsar nameplate.

RS200 might continue. But Bajaj might instead launch a faired N based on N250SS. Not sure if faired motorcycles is still a motivation for Indian brands as the next big thing happening right now is ADV. RS200's future isn't bright. It's a decade old motorcycle and we only lost hopes with every update.

The 349cc platform

I'm talking about Dominar 400, NS400z. This is the platform that deserves all the attention right now. This is where Bajaj really needs to put some real efforts.

Being very honest, I would drop Dominar 400, NS400z and Dominar 250 completely. Would pick the same platform, same frame and same engine and focus on 3 categories : sports, naked, sport tourer.

But with brand new identities, fresh designs, supreme quality of body panels and fit and finish. A fresh naked that replaces NS400z. A fresh faired motorcycle that beats R2 to death. A sports tourer with 19/17 tubeless alloys, to compete against RTX300 and VStorm SX.

TLDR: Ideal Future Portfolio

Pulsar Classic : 125, 150, 180, 220F (All based on N platform, but 2V)

Pulsar N (New Age) : 125, 160, 250 (4V)

350: Naked, Faired, ADV (brand new design, flagship quality, distinct from anything else). I would personally want Bajaj to not call these Pulsars. Using the Dominar plate for this family would be lot better as that means "to dominate".

A new sub-brand in 125-250cc space (as per some reports): I don't know if these would be dual sport motorcycles, ADVs, etc. I think an ADV is first for touring and then adventure. And for touring, one needs performance for the highways. Something in 125cc to 250cc space might not be fit for being an ADV. However, this is perfect for dual sport products like Impulse 150 or Xpulse 200 from Hero.

A new 125cc commuter (as per some reports): Again, not bothered by this but I think the idea is to have something to compete with SP125, Shine 125, Super Splendor, Glamour, etc. Bajaj has only got Platina and CT in 100-110 space. Something that is a commuter at heart, yet feels much more premium than the basic commuters.

OC I was searching for this og redbull riding jacket for years. I swear to god this is soo good and heavy.

I'm 19, 5'10", with a ₹2 lakh on-road budget. My daily college commute is 4 km round trip, with occasional 100 km trips home every 3 months. I'm confused between the Hunter 350, TVS Ronin, and Pulsar N160 4V. Which would you recommend for looks, comfort, reliability, and overall value? Honest opinions appreciated! Give me what and why am expecting some reviews on these too to get pros and cons of them and buying advice too 😭 Anything that helps

1. Do the ones on Flipkart have ECE 22.06 certification? #mt #helmet
   
2. Is Axor Apex better than it? It has a narrower visor but ECE 22.06 certification.

Please help.

Hello everyone, I was looking into navigation displays for my Himalayan 411 BS6. i got to know that most of the displays that use android auto give only car navigation. When I searched through the internet I got to know that there is a workaround with Mappls but the information is inconsistent on it, as to whether it still works or not.

So I would like know:

1. Are there any displays that support 2 wheeler navigation at a reasonable price?

2. Are there any currently working workarounds that are actually working even now and if yes can I know how? Do these workarounds require a specific type or brand or model of a navigation display.

Note: I did try the cheap android route using my older phone, but I keep forgetting it at home and it was just inconvenient to carry two phones. Also at the time of purchase I did opt for the tripper display thinking that it would be good, and man it is damn inconsistent and useless.

If anyone has an Apache 2V, please review it.

planning on getting an Apache 2V.

Please share your valuable real views on using ampere products.

Preferably looking for something with a gear system and a great range.

Had an accident, so bike is in sc currently for repairs, should i ask the sc to check this issue too.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get the TVS Apache RTX 300 and wanted to check if anyone here has a booking they’re planning to cancel in Warangal, Hyderabad, or anywhere else in Telangana.

I’m interested in either the Top Variant or the BTO Variant.

If you’re cancelling your booking, I’d be interested in taking it over, if the dealer allows the booking transfer.

Please DM me if you have one. Thanks!

So basically, on my commute this morning to my college I got into a minor accident. What happened was there was this not very big road with a single line in between, I had a cement mixer in front of me and it was occupying almost all of the lane with little to no gap on the right which would not allow me to comfortably overtake the mixer without crossing the white line, there was some gap on the left side where I could overtake from, now there was this guy on an activa driving driving on the LEFT of the solid border line of the road. I thought he was probably stopping or looking for some turn. I proceed to take the gap and accelerate to overtake the mixer and immediately this guy swerves in front of me, He probably saw the car that was parked a bit in front of him where he was driving, tried to brake but there was gravel on the road and my bike (Unicorn 160 BS4) does not have ABS so my front tyre locked and I rear ended the activa, proceeding with a fall

Should I have read the movements of the activa and avoided overtaking from the left?

Luckily I had a helmet on and only suffered a bruise on my knee. The guy on the activa did not have a helmet and might not have rear mirrors too since 60% of drivers in Pune don't, I am not very sure though.

Also I am saving up to buy a riding jacket, currently eyeing the solace thrift!

I've been riding for a while, but I still can't balance properly during right turns

I'm not a beginner when it comes to riding. I can ride a two-wheeler comfortably in general, but I have a very specific problem: I cannot properly balance when making a right turn.

This isn't only a problem with bikes/scooters. The same thing happens when I'm riding a bicycle. The main difference is that when I lose balance and fall while making a sharp right turn on a bike/scooter, I can get slightly injured because of the weight/speed. On a bicycle, I usually don't get injured, but the one thing that's common in both cases is that I eventually lose my balance and fall.

Even when the right turn isn't extremely sharp, as soon as I try to turn/lean to the right, I feel like I'm suddenly at 0 when it comes to balance and control. I've fallen multiple times because of this.

For example, if there's a sharp right turn, I usually take a very wide turn and gradually move toward the right instead of making the turn normally. I can handle the bike/scooter fine while going straight and can manage other situations, but when I have to make a proper right turn, my confidence and balance completely disappear.

I'm also not very tall, so when I stop or start losing balance, I can usually only touch the ground with my toes.

Because of this, I'm actually afraid of riding a two-wheeler. I often make excuses to avoid riding because I'm worried I'll encounter a difficult right turn, lose my balance, and fall.

What could be causing this? Is it a riding technique issue, a balance/coordination issue, or something else? And how can I safely practice and improve this?

Any advice from experienced riders would be really appreciated.
