NEED SUGGESTION AND INPUTS ON HERO DAVIDSON X440, ON LIVING WITH IT IN SOUTH INDIA (TAMILNADU, ESPECIALLY IN CHENNAI)
Hi, I am planning on upgrading my bike, I am currently riding a Pulsar 220F bought on 2023 clocked 50K kms, but the ownership experience with the bike especially with the showroom mafias and their scams has put a big hole in my heart on the BAJAJ brand.
I have the following bikes on list for the upgrade
Triumph T4
Honda Highness 350
Hero Davidson X440
RE Scram 440
The reason I have these bikes shortlisted bikes is that I have a strict limitation of having a single bike garage ( Family already have 2 scooters and a 125cc for dad), The above mentioned bikes seem like they will make a good single bike for daily commutes and for touring with buddies,
My requirements are,
Need to stay on 100 to 110 as some of my buddies have Ninjas and Interceptors so need to stay with their pace at times
Reliable ( Dont want to have the experience I had with the Bajaj)
Decent road presence ( I dont mind getting lost in the traffic, I am not a standout guy anyway)
Service network
Now that I know 3 out of 4 bikes have decent service network in tier 1 and tier 2 cities
But the X440 is the only bike that stays a mystery, as the online search is not taking me anywhere with just 4 showroom ( both HD and Hero premia included) in chennai and 6 Premia showroom in south India.
NEED ASSISTANCE FROM THE FELLOW HD X440 USERS IN TAMILNADU ESPECIALLY IN CHENNAI ON HOW YOU GUYS LIVE WITH THE BIKE AND IS IT WORTH TAKING A RISK OF BUYING THE BIKE WITH SUCH A SMALL NETWORK.
OTHER THAN THAT FELLOW USERS OF REDDIT CAN POST THEIR EXPERIENCE TOO.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
