WHAT USE THESE BIKES ??? I STILL DRIVE BAJAJ SCOOTER . BESTEST 2 WHEELER. IF I SEE RICH SNOBS POLLUTING AIR WITH THESE PETROL GUZZLERS I WILL GIVE ONE TIGHT SLAP .
Even though he is 25 years now, I can safely take him out anywhere and any distance (Yes, done rallies and long trips on him). He can even go on on kerosene! Mileage is bad, though, but I do not complain, given the riding pleasure and balance of him. :)
According to rediff "6 speed transmission ensures decent fuel efficiency "
What a crap ? seems the author is some non tech person who knows nothing about engine technology. i bet can rediff prove 5 transmission gearbox is less efficient than that of 6 ?
While the GT650R seems like a decent bike (barring the 'close resemblance' to a similar mid level Ducati), the ST7 seems completely useless as a cruiser. The true hallmarks of a true cruiser are: a. Maximum power at low revs; and b. Low end torque.
With figures like 58 bhp @ 8000 RPM and 57NM of torque at 6000 RPM, it is basically a street bike dressed as a cruiser. It looks good, so buy it if you want a looker, but in case you make the mistake of taking it to the hills, be ready to be shamed by a 350 cc bullet up an incline.
