5 worst bikes
Aug 14, 2009 01:25 PM 22384 Views

1) Kanda Thunderbird 100: Have you ever seen this 100 cc bike on road.It is a product of Kanda motors based in Pune available for 33000+ rupees onroad.I saw just 3-4 bikes on road in span of 1 year.They have office in Pune and these people are manufacturers of motorcycle spare parts.


I didnt ride this bike but after looking at it I feel that it would be assembled somewhat like this1)Body, chasis of Enticer and kinetic challenger2)same 97.2 cc engine of splendor fitted to it in tilted fashion.3) Front looks and headlight somewhat like kinetic challenger


2) Kinetic Boss: This bike lacks in pulling power.I remember that, I saw Kapildev's ad and after that I went to showroom for a test ride.This bike was not able to climb a slope comfortably with pillon rider.It lacked pickup, It was wobbling terribly at speed around 45-50.I thought that its seat can loosen up and come out anytime.I felt that is a failed copy of Kawasaki-Bajaj Caliber 110 cc.


At this time I preferred to purchase a second hand splendor with 10000 kms running done and used it for 4 years and after that, I settled for new Victor GLX. 3)TVS Centra: Though this bike has significant customers, but I can tell that this bike is one of worst bike because when I go to TVS authorized centers for servicing my bike, I find that many customers of Centra complaining about clutch and brake cables, petrol tank leakeage, poor mileage etc.Also the spare parts availability is a major issueWhat the hell TVS thought of putting the inclined and tilted engine like splendor for sake of longer bore instead of its typical TVS vertical fitted square engines.


4) Suzuki Heat: When I wished to sell my 4 year used second hand splendor and settle for 125 cc bike in 2006, I test rode this bike.125 cc and 8.75 bhp? What a joke!Gear indicators were a plus point but what a biker want to do with it.Every biker is aware in which gear his bike is.No need to inform the biker in which gear is he riding.Why they want to proove the rider stupid by doing so.Pickup was somewhat ok but after speed of 60, I felt that this bike's engine will die till it reaches around 80kmph.Also after speed of 50, its engine becomes noisy I felt as if I was riding a boxer.Its headlight is very weak.I tested around evening and was not able to see clearly 10 meter's distance in lower beam whereas with Victor GLX, I was able to see around 50 meters distance in lower beam and 125 meters+ distance in higher beam.This I needed because I am a highway traveller and travels around 20 kms in areas where there is complete dark on highways.Now I think suzuki has thought to use the engine of this bike with access 125 gearless scooters.


5) Discover Kick start(Very initial version): I dont own this.My friend has this bike and I driven it in city.It is a OK bike but after 4 years, my friend is frustrated with this bike.Mileage of 40, spare parts like brake cables not available.One incident I remember.His round headlight broke once and now he wants newer one.This version of discover has 55/60 watts bulb but this bulb is not available for this bike.He had to use 40/45 watts ordinary bulb and The headlight fairing he had to fit of old caliber.Now always problems starts like fusing of bulbs.The mechanics always suggests to change electricals, magneto coil etc which is costly.He wished to change bike but no one is interested to buy it.Now this bike is rarely used by him.


You might be thinking why I didnt include Bajaj BykBut do you think that Bajaj byk is a bike?At the most I can say that it is a enhanced moped like street 100, Kinetic k4 etcAlso I havent mentioned Bajaj CT 100 though a worst bike than centra.CT 100 is just a 100 cc engine mounted on a body, packed and assembled somehow and sold.


Also many people have listed LML freedom, Yamaha Crux/Libero G5/YBX 125 but I dont think that these bikes are that worst.Freedom, Beamer etc were very good bikes but due to company shutdown, these bikes were out of market.Yamaha Crux is best than CD dawn and TVS Star


This was all I told about worst bikesAny guess about best bikes.According to me all time best bikes are1) Bullet Electra 3502) HH CD100 SS( Best than fiber body splendor)3) Yamaha RX 1004) Pulsar 150(Not the other 180, 200, 220 bikes)5) TVS Suzuki Samurai/Max 100 R6) Fiero


Any suggestions about best bikes?
