[@ashishpottekat3625]

Yezdi adv's light clutch, easy gear shifts, 6 speed gear box, powerful headlight, 10kg lighter weight and 120km/hr no-vibration cruising speed were not considered at all as valid points to deem it a better bike atleast in the current period. Although I do believe, Yezdi could have dropped adv and roadster and focused on bringing a perfectly finished scrambler to Indian market and create a benchmark bike.

[@adityanrvarier7406]

[@deveshsharma_mountainshrink]

Absolutely on open highways but the moment you hit slow winding mountains/hills one will get fatigued earlier on yezdi due to poor pulling at lower revs and frequent gear shifts. And it happens , one gets fatigued after hours , it’s a fact. How I know? I have a Himalayan and an interceptor and guess what ?- despite lighter clutch and more power I get tired of shifting on interceptor more than Himalayan and there are many people like me with the same thought. That’s why long strokes command a cult following.
