r/IndianRiders

I have been commuting on scooter from past 5 years, I had so much fun on it but also some accident due to it sliding and loosing grip on road. its a hero scooter and gawd they got terrible service, I had a self start problem for which I went to their service Centre and they couldn't fix the problem permanently so I want to ask,

Do all indian companies suck at after sales service and what are the companies that got it sorted in indian market ?

Coming to new bike i have got a budget of around 2.5 lakh on road and require a beginner friendly bike I have little expirance with bike specially in traffic and i have done 3-4 trips ranging from 180- 230 km with scooter . I really like yamaha xsr155 bcoz of performance, mileage, lightweight, Japanese reliability and looks but i also have a pillion with me less than 50kg weight and from what I have seen online it comes with stiff suspension.

Now my main lookout in bike is good reliability and service, handle indian potholes and pillion and rider comfort , my most commute will be city commute with some weekend ride and occasionally long trip

Suggest some which will keep me excited for bikes as I get old
