As a domestic brand the popularity of Roadmaster motorcycle brand is increasing day after day, and they are offering well performing and featured bike for their users within very reasonable price as well. I am also a Roadmaster user and for the last six months I am using Roadmaster Rapido 150cc. to make my communication more comfortable and fast I bought this bike but along with that I really like the design and looks of this bike. Most of the bike users usually buy a bike for their better transportation and sometimes for leisure traveling; I place myself among them. Before this bike I have already used two motorcycles from Bajaj and they are named Discover 100 and Bajaj Pulsar 150. After purchasing this bike I have already crossed 4600 Km run with my bike, and my bike is just six months old. Today I will share my experiences with my bike in front of you all but before we start let me introduce myself, I am MD. Mamun and I am a service holder.
My present address is located at Banani, Dhaka. So let us start the story.
Engine performance:
If I have to talk about the engine then I have to admit this bikes engine holds a smooth sound and the overall performance is pleasant. But along with the good things few bad things also exists and this bikes engine also have some, the engine heats up really early. Without that the sound gets changed after a while and I really don’t know why, but no lacking at the performance. I have accelerated my bike up to 104 KM/H speed and I personally think it is not that much good at all as a top speed. I felt short of acceleration suddenly when I ride my bike at the 4th or 2nd gear but it after a while it becomes normal again. Overall I am satisfied with the performance, not bad at all.
Design and build quality:
Talking about the design of this bike I must admire that according to the price Roadmaster Rapido 150 comes with one of the best design. I really like the muscular body kit and color combination. So I must say I have no complains about the design because what more I am going to need based on this price range. On the other side I think the body material is durable of this bike, and according to me the body kits will not break down really early but I must add, my bike is only six months old so nothing cannot be said with that much surety. Overall I am pleased.
Seating position and handlebar:
Though the seating position is not hard for using but it need to be more comfortable. Pillion seat is not that much comfortable, during hard brake the pillion moves a lot and comes forward to the rider. I have made 250 Km journey at a time but no back pain or problem took place which I liked the most. Because I am a tall person so no wrist pain or that kind of problem takes place and the combination of the seating position and handlebar is so nicely made, so no worries.
Braking:
CBS Braking is offering me great support I must say, and because of that I can easily control the speed. One day I faced a problem and that was, the bike was at 12/13 KM/H speed and because of sudden braking I bike skids. I realized that it was my fault
Suspension:
Suspensions are really smooth I must say and because of them I feel less shaking at any kind of roads. Both the rear and front suspension are giving me first class performance.
Mileage:
I have bought this bike from the Banani Showroom and they told me I will get 30-40 Km/L mileage but I am getting 36 KM/L mileage at present. I think the mileage is not sufficient but based on the overall performance I am satisfied.
Service center:
I have already said that I bought this bike from the Banani Showroom and till now I am getting great service from them. Their working capability and behavior both are satisfactory and most importantly all the parts are available.
Price:
I think the price is perfect according to the muscular look and performance. No other company provides this kind of featured bike within this price range.
Few bad things of my bike:
- Power of the headlamp is not sufficient.
- I will suggest the company to attach the rear mud gourd with the rear suspension because it gets dirty very early.
So I am happy with the overall performance I must say and I am thinking to buy the new 150cc Roadmaster bike which just arrived in Bangladesh.
