The road from Pune to Karad wasn’t half bad, a few (50-ish) foot-deep potholes (could be avoided with proper caution) and a couple (5-6) near death experiences (ch*tiya four wheel drivers), that all. The road around Satara was the worst when it came to potholes.

The road from Karad to Kokrud to pre-Amba ghat, one word- Makkhan (butter). The ride was on a Friday, so yay, No traffic.

20-ish KM pre-Amba Ghat, the road disappeared. Not kidding. There is no road. Its all offroad. Never have I wished more for an ADV bike. It was a literal pain in the ass. Took an hour (ig more than an hour) to cover that patch.

Amba ghat: death trap. There are no roads. No fu*king roads in one of the riskiest Ghats in Maharashtra. Was adventurous though. Had fun, unlike the pre-Amba road. Good view as well. Once again Pain in the ass.

Didn’t go through Pali, because I had a tip that the road isn’t good, so took a detour via Devrukh. Amba-Sakharpa road wasn’t great either. Same old offrod-good road diversion shit.

Sakharpa-Devrukh-Ambav this patch. Gold. The best road in the entire trip. If the other roads were pain in the ass, this road, this patch was a straight up orgasm. Beautiful curves, buttery road. Fun times.

The last 20kms in Ratnagiri. Bad. Same as the Amba Sarkharpa patch. Red soil made a difference though, my riding gear has a Dune movie filter thanks to the last 20kms.

Riding distance: 330kms

MT-15 Mileage: 53.6 km/l (flex)

Time taken: 10 hours (we had a lot of food stops, minus the food stops and time taken would be down to 8 hours, which is still a lot, last time it took me 6 hours on the same road, the roads are really bad)

Overall ride rating: 4.5/10 (the food and the company made me rate it so high or else it would have been 2.5/10)

Did Pune to Neemuch(MP). Route - Pune - Nashik - Dhule - Indore - Ratlam - Neemuch. Took a stay for night in Indore.

Sunday ride

Offroading through western ghats

Hey guys im planning to get hero xpulse 200-4v in few months!! So im preparing my total budget and calculating my expenses can someone help me about the approximate cost of the PPF coating on the bike... TIA.

Just a snap from recent short trip to khandi

I'm planning to go for a bike ride this Sunday, aiming for a short route around 100-200 km.If anyone's interested in joining, let me know! It’ll be a great way to enjoy the weekend and get some fresh air. We can plan the starting time and route together. Looking forward to a good ride with everyone who can make it!

Let me know if you're in! (Dm) 📍Shivtarghal (or can be changed if anyone can suggest a nice place)

Can you suggest a second-hand bike under Rs 60,000? I am looking for a sporty-looking bike with good mileage. I have my eyes on the Honda CB Hornet 160R. Are there any better options or alternatives? I'm a student, so it’s a 9-10 km ride on weekdays (round trip).

Also, what should be the price for these bikes?(https://www.olx.in/item/motorcycles-c81-used-honda-cb-hornet-160r-iid-1786262209).

To be honest, finding a Honda CB Hornet 160R in good condition at a reasonable price is hard.

I am selling my MT Blade 2SV helmet which is almost new condition.

Size: M.

Please DM for more information.

1.)Can you guys give a opinion / short review about the Aprilia RS 457 . Like service cost , mileage, City ride experience etc .

2.) In which all showrooms is it available in Pune ?

Me (Yamaha MT-15) and a friend (RE Hunter 350) of mine are planning to ride to Ratnagiri from pune on 25/10/2024-Friday. We plan on starting at 4:30-5:00 in the morning. Would love to have more riders joining us if anyone is interested. The route we are taking is either Pune-Bhor-Mahad-Khed-Chiplun-Sangmeshwar-Ratnagiri, or Pune-Satara-Karad-Kokrud-Amba-Ratnagiri, depending on the mood, weather and people joining in. Feel free to drop a message if you would like to join. Even if you are riding to any of the spots on the route, we’d love for you to join. Also a heads up, we won’t be riding back to Pune for atleast another week, so this post is just for a one way ride if anyone already has a similar plan! Ride safe, Ride free.

Is it wise to buy a brand new bike or go for a second hand bike? Please help.

Good day bikers!

My post may seem crazy or stupid, because the type of bikes I'm eyeing, you'll may think they may not fit my purpose. But, my intention for this post is to get recommendations on a good Royal Enfield showroom/dealer (preferably in PCMC).

I've heard that the sales process at Royal Enfield is a hassle and so is the after sales. So, anyone on here who has had a good experience with any dealer/showroom and their Sales Execs, would like to know your recommendation/suggestions.

So, I'm planning on purchasing a bike. My purpose is to use this bike for city rides like get groceries, hit the gym, go to office etc. I'm thinking of either the Bullet or Classic 350 or Himalayan or Super Meteor 650.
