One more thing to consider is that when we try to reach the top speed, a considerable portion of our concentration will be on the speedometer......not having complete concentration on the road at that speed for that amount of time is suicide....
I saw so many RUclips videos of Aprilia RS 457 reaching 190-200 km/h on a long stretch. It Rapidly reaches 0-160 km/h. After 160 km/h acceleration Slows down. And also i think 200 km/h on the speedo means true gps Topspeed is around 185+ km/h.
I own an ApriliaRS457 havnt gone more than 100kmph on it. I want you guys to do a Podcast on what is the correct way to do a Proper Engine Breaking or Running In period. what to do and what Not to do In the first 1000kms on a Bike.
Vikas - I would say I being an KTM RC390 Gen 2 owner - 150kmph to 160kmph is butter smooth, but post that to cross 170kmph to 178kmph, it takes a lot of risk, calculations, space, angle , road curves , so at those speeds doing such calculations is extremely tough and risky, one needs lot of skills and practice, newer riders buying bikes seeing top speed does lack the soft skills and brains, hence meet fatal accidents. And you are absolutely right about 650s and 900s or Litre Class Bikes can easily touch those speeds and come down because of top notch brakes which cant be done on 400cc bikes,
I just bought a rs457 after seeing its top speed and stuff videos, but never thought this way man.. thanx a ton for this vid,, i will definitely ride safely
Hahaha so very well said man, this is exactly what even I had in mind when buying my bike too. Who cares if the bike goes 160, give me a bike that goes 0-100 quick and I'm more than happy 😂 I hate it when someone keeps on pushing the top speed like who cares bro, I'm in to enjoy my bike goes 0-70-90 quick and its good enough for me it comes back down fast enough. Maybe if I see a clear road push it a bit and back down no point in crusing at 140s in our country gotta go Autobahn for that🤣
I first time ever visited your channel today for engine flush related confusion but have fallen in love with your quality content and clear explaination. Good work keep it up👍👍
I hope all the new riders see this video. From a gen 1 D390 owner, i'm telling you this guy is spitting facts. always stay in the safe speed zone on your motorcycle (for me it has always been quick accelerations to 120-130 and down, that's it). and i'm talking about curvy roads. if you want to go fast on a straight line, buy a 600cc or more for sure. But if you want to be a better rider, forget top speeds and learn how to carry smooth speeds in and around corners.
First, the person need to check at what speed need to ride, then need to select the bhp, then finally select the engine type (long stroke for cruising & short stroke for fun). For example, 40 bhp has top speeds of around 140-150 kmph. Now, if only top speed is concern, then better to go with short stroke engine. Below is the order of stroke size: Ninja 300 < Duke 390 < Triumph Speed 400 < Himalayan 450 But if you compare the bore size, all will have almost same size. Due to stroke, the cc is changed.
This is a topic which has bugged me for years. No youtuber has spoken about this until you. The 400-500cc bike doing 150kph does not simply has the breaking power to stop the bike in a short time. This is something one has to consider before doing such speeds on indian roads. On 600cc and above the breaks are made in such a way that these are very normal speeds for the brakes to tackle. In case of the aprilia the bike actually does 170 kph very fast. Its post that where it takes a long time although much less time than r3 and other twins.
I never crossed 120 kmph in my life that too two or 3 times in my life. Most of the time I am riding under 90kmph that too only on open roads on normal roads never above 60
Just keep in mind, any motorcycle you will have considerably less control on its peak performance either its a R15 @150+ or a RS457 @200 if you want to experience this just try rev your motorcycle to peak in 1st gear and try to apply the brakes you will know the truth 😅(but please don't try this 🙏)
Also on a Aprilia you will have to push the bikes to the bikes ultimate to reach 200 which is not the stable part of the bike. But that's not the case on a 600
I bought all my 250cc plus motorcycles thinking at about how much lower rpms, the bike can do a constant 100 on the highway and strictly not top speed.

Very well said
Obviously youtubers r doing it for views and subscribers. Otherwise... Indian conditions r not good for riding above 120km/hr (highways)

Ohhh man, Vikas bro always has the different perspective, that's the reason we like him❤
No bullshit at all, pure content
Thanks brother

I been following you since 2023 in never regretted thanks you ❤
I first time ever visited your channel today for engine flush related confusion but have fallen in love with your quality content and clear explaination.
Good work keep it up👍👍
Thank you very much! 😊😊
If planning to go 200 kmph, consider having a bike which has dual disc at the front

It's crucial to Ride Responsibly ❤
Its same as in youtube there were and are guys putting r15 and mt15 140kmph it's the same culture
Very important advices to modern Indian riders. Thank you Vikas.
Enjoying watching such informative podcasts Vikas sir ❤
Thanks brother

150 kmph itself a great speed in India, i hope we can achieve this speed in RS457 in few seconds effortlessly. Im happy with it 😁.
Yes brother
Love these, keep going with the podcasts bro ❤
Exactly 💯 anna I agree with you 🙌
Logically u r correct...u have conveyed good message..
Amazing brother, keep it up!
Make a dedicated video about riding gear . For beginners.
Totally agree with you brother

Sir I want to buy used r15 or mt15 please do review on how to check Yamaha motorcycle and there reliability
Very good topic ppl getting wrong reasons to buy Sports bike nicely mentioned
I generally don't exceed 60-70% of rated top speed for longer engine life.
I never crossed 120 kmph in my life that too two or 3 times in my life. Most of the time I am riding under 90kmph that too only on open roads on normal roads never above 60
Podcast topic suggestion: Ceramic vs Sintered brake pads advantages and disadvantages
suitable for which type of motorcycle?
Just keep in mind, any motorcycle you will have considerably less control on its peak performance either its a R15 @150+ or a RS457 @200 if you want to experience this just try rev your motorcycle to peak in 1st gear and try to apply the brakes you will know the truth 😅(but please don't try this 🙏)
i love my R15S ❤️ have completed various Steep hills
Also on a Aprilia you will have to push the bikes to the bikes ultimate to reach 200 which is not the stable part of the bike. But that's not the case on a 600
Talk about E20 fuel
And how its gonna wreck our pre 2023 vehicles
Very practical talk I like it
Thanks brother
Good topic and realistic content
Thanks brother
Always kept in limit on my bike rr310..I reached 170 and it was thrilled but very dangerous..never went more than 120 kmph after that
Sirji aap honda bikes ke baare mein jyada baat kyun nahi karte, jaise ki honda cb300r, cb350rs, NX500, transalp750??🤔
I ride kawasaki Ninja 300 upto 170 its fine reaches quickly again 180+ i need almost 3+ kms from starting 0 it depends on your riding skills 😊
I like to push my motorcycles to around 80% of its capacity. It’s faster to do that speed and brakes also fairly stop bike quickly.
I bought all my 250cc plus motorcycles thinking at about how much lower rpms, the bike can do a constant 100 on the highway and strictly not top speed.
True
Very useful Information
I jave done 182 on my Aprilia while going with a z900 and the bike still in 5th and wasn't stressed
your own frnd dino bhai did it on a dividerless road
Hi,my age is 39, looking for a bike with good looks+ super suspension. My budget is 2 lakhs
