Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am planning to buy my first bike. My shortlisted choices are very small Vulcan S650 and Versys 650. Considering Indian road conditions, which bike would you recommend me? My budget is around 6.5 lakhs INR. Any other options are also welcome.
  • Yes..
  • Yes.. You can either install an Aftermarket exhaust or get ‘fork raisers’ installed.. Since I live in Bengaluru where cops seem to be very strict about aftermarket exhausts ( and also due to these exhausts being very expensive ), I got ‘fork raisers’ installed which raise the frame by a couple of inches thereby increasing the ground clearance by about an inch..Note that these fork raisers are not some standard accessories you can buy.. These were fabricated and installed at a workshop owned by a member of one of the riding clubs, so you need to check if such fabrication and installation can be done by someone in your city..
  • Hi Sathish, I am also planning to buy Vulcan s but due to GC problem I am not getting sure about this. Can we increase Ground Clearance of vulcan s?

Q. Kawasaki Vulcan S or Harley Davidson Street 750, What would be the best option to pick?

Q. What are the differences between 402S and 502C - 502 c - 502 c - 502 c?
  • It would be too early to give a difference here as the Benelli 402 S is not launched yet. On the other hand, if we talk about Benelli 502 C, the bike is powered by a 500cc parallel-twin engine making 47.5PS and 46Nm -- the same as the Leoncino 500 and the Benelli TRK 502. It features modern underpinnings in the form of an inverted front fork, rear mono-shock, twin 280mm petal discs, and a 240mm rear petal disc with dual-channel ABS. Notable features include an all-LED lighting system and a full-colour TFT instrument cluster with two display modes. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride.
