Of adventure touring in India on big bikes
Hayabusa, million bhp, knee scraping leans and an eargasmic sound is what we relate any 'big' bike in India to . Luckily for long distance travellers and and adventure tourers, the motorcycling scenario in India has been, ever since , blooming.
As the title suggests, this is about the likes of Triumph Tiger, BMW GS1200, Ducati Multistrada and the Kawasaki Versys which had ,since long ,been the wet desire for long distance tourers and adventure seekers. Courtesy to their ergonomics and suspension setup, coupled with immense power on tap, they never fail to make the rider grin left to right. But then comes in the weight. Remember hearing " Bullet gir gayi toh uth ti nahi akele" ? well Royal Enfield motorcycles utmost weigh 192 kgs. and these big adventure machines? Well the lightest one is well over 200kgs. This does make it absolutely imperative for one to learm to manage the top heavy weight and tall stance.
Once done? The fun, the adventure, the capabilities are limitless.
