                  About the bike
                  It was my dream bike and it's so reliable and smooth. It has many features, like multiple riding mods and the trophy version has a ERC that means (easy riding clutch) it is very helpful to the beginners. The handling of the bike is very smooth and it gives around 20 to 24 milage on an average in highways and its seats are so much comfortable and it has a heating grips which helps me in early morning rides. I like to recommend this bike to the proper off-road bikers and they love this very much because of its handling and ERC you can also adjust the suspensions of both side and have a good off-road experience.

                  good vehicle high waiting period
                  I went to the BMW Bengaluru showroom, they are not even accepting booking and the vehicle already has 8 months waiting period which is very high for a made in India bike other than that very good looking and stylish bike with ERC clutch. Very easy to maintain in the city and bumper to bumper traffic conditions.

                  BMw F 450 Gs is best in segment
                  BMW F 450 Gs is amazing bike. I mean spaciously trophy variant is amazing. I just booked it (BMW F 450 gs). I think this is best bike under 10 lakh. Power, road presence, torque every thing is just wow. Of road capabilities are promising. BMW know for their tech and engineering. In short this is one of the finest offer .

                  Excited for the bike to be launched
                  I am desperately waiting for the bike the headlight looks very interesting. I got chills when I saw the bike's introduction video. the color scheme is perfect. the TFT display makes it look more futuristic. the power output of the bike will be crazy, especially on the trails, I hope the bike has good low-end torque which can help in the trails. although this bike is a big competitor of the Himalayan the BMW F 450 GS will be priced aggressively, at the end of the day it is a BMW. At the end of the day I'm just waiting for the bike to be launched and I get to see the bike in person.

                  A delightful experience with my bike
                  It's very comfortable bike and I enjoyed it a lot but it's mileage is not a fact ... Because it's very fun to Ride it's engine is so refined that I can easily pull it up in traffic.... It's pick up and top speed is so good and it's graphics designing and electronics are so spoty and usefull ... Highly recommend to ride it once

                  A bike which is only judged by its looks and but not by its power the mighty 39T
                  A bike with good looks and with a good power with a semi fairing the initial speed is best in the segment and the leading class bike but lack in proper updates made its sales very slow and it caused the marketing a criteria of this bike section is of the leading one and its competitors like rr310 ninja 300 and many other are less powerful and less confidental infront of this machine

                  Best performance bike in its segment.
                  Im using RC 390 since the past 8 months I got a better experience while riding the vehicle. It gives a better mileage while comparing to its power and performance. I got around 22 to 27 kmpl mileage. But the riding comfort is not good we can't take it to a long ride. Overall it's a beast in its segment.
