Personally I think it looks better with spoked wheels 👍
Really love your 2 Wheels videos (I’m not a biker!) , entertaining, interesting and smashing pics. Let down a wee bit by the slightly ‘edgy’ helmet audio. Tricky to get right but would make such a difference. Nevertheless please keep on pumping out the great content on both channels. Thank you. 😁😁
Great video mate 👊🏻
Cancelled my order last week for the trophy edition as did not like the erc and after a few slow pull aways on hills you could smell it burning 😢 also vibes are too much for a premium priced bike. Shame as really liked the bike otherwise.
I rode that bike on an extended test ride recently. It was impressive. I ride a GS1250 and the 450 is roomier for me in comparison , like yourself I'm a big guy 6' 5" and 108kgs (my1250 has a higher seat, lowered footrests and adaptable brake lever and gear lever), I don't need them on this bike! How the 450 rides and performs is pure magic…it's quicker in the twisties and puts a big smile on my face, something the 1250 doesn't. The weight and the erc are perfect for my riding style sticking to A, B and C roads. All dual carriageways are boring…there is no adventure to riding them, far better to be riding fun roads even though it takes longer to get from A to B and the memories are greater too. Oh, did I mention my order was placed after my test ride. Happy days!
Too expensive,,, the cf moto 450 is ten times better at a fraction of the cost,,,, and that’s before BMWs servicing costs
The front is sooo ugly, and those alloy wheels….. makes the bike look like a kids toy
The current trend seems to be less is more. Great video TWA
If not liking the revs , just change sprockets . Simple . It’s what people do .
You’ll lose power though
great looking Indian bike with a German price tag
Please test the other trims. No one is doing a trim comparisons. Normal clutch vs auto clutch
I would go for 450 MT in this segment
You're such a BM fan boy… practically everything's a positive 😅
It would have been good to know how much the bike you rode actually cost.
Also no mention of them being assembled by TVS in India.
❤❤❤
Great review and its a fantastic looking bike, if my son was after an A2 bike id be tempted to lean towards this,
Love to see the price for the US Market after all those add on packages added. Base bike is just an engine, transmission and a frame.
