Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.

“The headlight design of this bike is different from all other bikes in the world. i loved it so much”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Couple of things I noticed in your bike. 1) Driver seat is of premium quality, this is found only in RS.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Awesome bike. Still choice the KTM Duke 890 R over this. More torque and pull. Better ergonomics for me and just more fun. But the Triumph is smoother. More rev range and gear choices for riding.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“I cannot see my dash at all while riding. The tft needs an adjuster. Other than that the bike is solid.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“I heard after every 6000KM need to change both tyre which could almost 40K to 50K.. is it true??.. maintaining superbike is costly overhead.”

  • Owners complain many parts take ~1 week or more to arrive.
  • Service centres ask owners to bring bike every ~3 months or ~ as per checkups even when international interval is longer.
