      The last era of combustion engine
      1 week ago
      Sriraman
      I'm a great fan of GT 650 and I wrote several bike reviews for GT 650 with buying it. But all I can say is this is the last era in which petrol will be available for 42 years. I'm unhappy that I can't buy this 4.5 L bike and petrol demand on earth. Even I struggle I can't buy GT 650 bike due to family financial condition. These things are phrase age wishes which I never gone through. Most probably this is my last review in Bike Wale. If someone reading this thanking you at least you just know my pain. With love and end SRIRAMAN.

      Great Bike, Disappointing Service Experience
      7 weeks ago
      Hemanth
      Its unique design grabs attention, and the engine delivers punchy, responsive performance. Everything about the bike feels premium and well-built. However, the service experience is disappointing—Staff lack basic knowledge and don’t seem trained to handle this bike and they've even caused scratches on the bike and they didn't even know how to reset service reminder properly.

    • BMW R 12 nine T
      About BMW R12
      13 weeks ago
      Kush Yadav
      Late last year, while the moto press was busy wetting its pants over the forthcoming R 1300 GS, the folks at Bayerische Motoren Werke quietly mentioned that they planned to change the name of the R nineT. That made sense, the R nineT had originally been rolled out as a celebration of BMW Motorrad’s 90th birthday ─ in 2014. One suspects the company didn’t expect the model to be as popular as it turned out to be. A decade later, the name doesn’t make sense; BMW is no longer celebrating its 90th birthday and previous R90 models ─ ie, the R90/6 and R90/S ─ had been powered by 900cc engines (well, 898 cc, to be precise), as opposed to the 1170cc twin driving the R nineT. So, BMW decided to put the bike’s name in line with the 1800cc R 18 cruiser, calling it the R 12. Except, they didn’t really do that. In what I assume was an attempt to avoid confusing R nineT fans, the bike formerly known as an R nineT became the “R 12 nineT.” Obviously. Meanwhile, at exactly the same time ─ as in, it was thrown into the same press release as the news about the renaming ─ BMW revealed that there would be a new bike, dubbed simply, the R 12.
