Base variant is useless with spoked wheels. You will have night mare when you get stranded on the road because of flat tyre. This is very heavy bike at around 190kgs. You cannot move the bike an inch. If you move also you will end up damaging the tube every time. Do not go for base version.. always for Tubeless. This is the same reason I am seeking my RE classic and planning for Mavrick or Triumph 400
