I bought one of these in 2021. It has been completely reliable with over 7000 kilometres passed now. It is like riding an old classic with perfect reliability and ease of use. I think I will never sell it!

@@dostoevsky90 The only service i have payed for is the one at the first 1000 kms. They took me 100 euros(at the dealer) for oil and filters change and a bit of chain adjustment. Since then i am doing everything in garage by myself. Its a pretty simple bike to work on and if you want to save some money, you better learn to maintain it yourself.

I am 78 and my first motorcycle was a 1946 BSA single 500cc, magneto, manual advance and retard, wonderfully weak drum brakes, replaceable cork inserts for a clutch, no rear suspension, kick start ,vibrated cast iron barrel and head and went around 40-50 mph cruise. Now that was a great ride for years going back and forth to work at a Suzuki dealer where I worked as a mechanic in the early 70's.

I finally got mine 2 weeks ago and I cannot agree with you more. It's fun to ride and you can't make it go faster. It's slow af 😅 but fun. Top speed around 110 kmh. Heavy 400cc bike.
@hiyadroogs10 ай бұрын
A video testing the speedo 'accuracy' against GPS, gave an actual top speed of 80 mph @ 7,000. Which is the rev limiter. The speedo probably claimed 92 mph I think! 😅
@hiyadroogs10 ай бұрын
Hopefully the tacho is completely accurate. But it suggests a gearing of approximately 11.42 mph per 1000, - meaning peak torque at 3,500 gives exactly 40 mph, & 4,000 just under a true 46 mph, which is a nice gentle cruising speed. 5,500, max power, would be a GPS 63 mph, & 6,000 68.75 - 110 km. Just for the reference of others who may be interested in its real world ability without speedo optimism: which is up to 12 mph at some points 😳

The only downsides I can see with this bike are that it's probably going to be a struggle to keep it nice after a couple of English autumn and winters riding and that the speedo is quite a bit out But otherwise fantastic value and I imagine it feels great riding a classic style bike.

Very genuine, technical, philosophical and a full of life kind of review of the bike!! 👌🏼👌🏼 I love this bike and am also thinking of going for it. But a little worried about the ‘Tube tyres’ that we are getting on this bike, here in India. Should I be worried at all? Or ‘Tube tyre’ not that big of a dealbreaker? In need of a little guidance here. Thank you in advance!
@RideWithAlex Жыл бұрын
I personally don't like tube tyres because you can't fix them quick and easy on the side of the road like a tubeless tyre. But then again a lot of people have bikes with tube tyres and are running them without a problem. So it depends more on your own preferences. QJ has the SRC500 which is this bikes twin brother with tubeless tyres I think if QJ is available in your country.

Got mine from Brasov, which is about 200 km from my home. Took the train with my brother to get there, bought it, and rode it back home. It handled the trip beautifully, we are 90 kg, respectively 75, and the engine was not struggling to carry us. We also caught a little bit of rain, and the bike behaved really nice, brakes were good. If you like the back roads and slow traveling, look no further, you can get some really good deals on them
