First time riding an RS457, now confused about my first bike. Need advice.
Today I rode an RS457 for the first time. Before this, I'd ridden a scooter or bike maybe 5 times in my entire life.
I ended up touching 120 km/h with a friend riding pillion, and also did 64kms. He's experienced with bikes (though it was his first time on a sport bike), and the ride made me realize I'd been underestimating myself and was scared for no reason.
That said, I'm not taking this as a sign to buy an RS457 as my first bike.
I'm looking for recommendations for a first motorcycle under ₹5 lakh. My use case:
- ~10 km daily commute (office and back)
- Occasional weekend rides (up to ~100 km)
BIG no to Duke 390 R , too aggressive for me
What would you recommend and why?
p.s pic is not mine
