Before purchasing Rapido 165 I have posted about it in a group and many of the group members said that it is not a good bike and also it will not last longer and many other. I think those who commented bad about it I guess they have never ride this bike. Because of I like the design of this bike that’s why without thinking I have purchased this bike. On the other hand from the showroom I knew that it has 4 free services and also engine warrantee till 30000km which makes me more confident about this bike. Because of there is no enough reviews about this bike that’s why today I’m going to share my experience about this bike. Recently I have purchased this bike and till now I have ride almost 500km.
I think the major reason behind purchasing this bike is the design of this bike and most of the users of this bike purchase this bike because they love the design of this bike. On the other hand Rapido 150cc was also a very famous bike. In 2,00,000 budget those sports bikes which come in the market for the first time there are some people who always said those are also bad and also not last longer among then one of the bikes in now very famous and I never understand that it is a Chinese bike.
Rapido 165cc is a very comfortable bike. I have picked up 97kmph speed and I think I can pick 110-115kmph speed easily. I usually don’t ride above 80kmph speed that’s why I don’t check the top seed of this bike. The controlling of this bike is also very good. The weight of this bike is 133km and the maximum power of this bike is 15.3 and maximum torque is 14.6.
I must say I will give full marks on the design of this bike. I think the major reason behind the popularity of this bike is the design of this bike. It has CBS braking system which is a very effective braking system and it never skid during hard brake. It took 2-5second to control this bike from 60kmph speed. But when I brake during high speed I noticed a sound which may come from the body kit or from the conflict of the cables.
I will gibe 80/100 on the controlling system of this bike. If I want to say about the comfort then I must mention about the sitting position of this bike. Though the front sit of this bike is very comfortable but the pillion sit is very uncomfortable. I also think the pillion sitting position will not going to last longer because I’m confused about the build quality of this portion.
They provide 110/17 size tyre in the front and 140/17 in rare of Rapido 165.
The major reason behind choosing this bike are it look, sound and price. The current price of this bike is 184900tk which is the cheapest bike in 165cc segment in the market.
-The front look and the parking light of this bike seems very attractive to me.
-The look of this bike seems like a dragon.
-In one word it is an eye catching bike. I like the sound of this bike.
-I must say the major reason behind its popularity is the design of this bike.
The riders of low weight may face problem with this bike. It doesn’t has any mud guard so during rainy day it crates problem. The parts of this bike are not available if you don’t find the parts in the service center then you have to face problem to get this from outside. You have to change the horn of this bike after purchasing this bike. Because of it is a sports bike so the turning radius of this bike is low and it is a common problem of all the sports bike.
If your height is more than 6feet then you knee may touched the handle bar. The pillion sitting position of this bike is very narrow and I don’t think it will last longer.
The engine of this bike is air cooled but it would be better if it will become oil/liquid cooled.
I’m getting 33kmpl mileage from this bike. The fuel tank of this bike is 14litre and in reserve you will get 1-1.5litre oil.
