Runner Duranto 80cc bike ownership review by MD. Sayed Salam
My first motorcycle was Honda HS100 and I bought it for my business purpose. I have a printing press in Rajshahi town and have some land properties in Godagari which is around 17-18km away from Rajshahi town. To take care both of my business I had bought a bike. At the same time I have another bike, it was Bajaj Chetak 150cc. After this I bought Hero Honda Splendor Plus. After Splendor I bought Dayang Gaalxy 80cc. And finally I am using Runner Duranto 80cc.
Dear Friends, I am MD. Sayed Salam. I am from Sagarpara, Rajshahi. Today I will share with you my experiences on Runner Duranto 80cc motorcycle. As far I know, it is the cheapest motorcycle in Bangladesh at this moment.
Why I have chosen Runner Duranto?
I have already told that I am a businessman and need to move several times in a day. So, I need a personal vehicle for all time. From the last year, I am feeling high blood pressure. So it is little risk for me to ride a bigger bike. When I have decided to buy a light weight bike such as Dayang 50cc or 80cc, my friend Ismail who is doing job in Nupu Corporation told me to buy a newly arrived bike from Runner Family. It is Runner Duranto 80cc. I like it on first look. It looks simple and light. I became astonished when I heard that the price of this bike is only 56000.00. It is amazing. Because, If I want to buy a used bike, it also be more than 50000.00. So, I bought it instantly.
My Runner Duranto
I have bought this bike on last year from Nupu Corporation, Ranibazar, Rajshahi. I had little doubt about the performance of it's engine. Because it's price is so cheap. But when I started to use it, I became satisfied on it.. It's 80cc engine provides enough power to ride single or with pillion. I have made a tour in nearest district natore which is around 50km away from rajshahi. It runs very well with pillion. I feel very comfort to ride within the city area. It is very comfortable and controllable to ride in traffic jam. I have little experiences to ride on soil road and it is really satisfactory.
Although it is a small and light weight bike(74.5 kg) but I have got spped 70km/h. Control is satisfactory in normal speed, but on the highway it seems little discomfort. The power of the head light is fair enough to ride in the night. Both front and rear suspensions are soft and smooth. So, rider and pillion both feels comfort. I have not check accurately about the fuel efficiency of this bike. But it seems, it runs around 55-60km per liter.
Positive Sides
Low price
Strong and powerful
Soft suspensions
Fuel efficient
Negative Sides
Non attractive design
Narrow both tyres
Front and back look is really bad.
I know, it is very normal that it will have some lacking from the other bike, because of it's low price. But every one can buy this bike who wants to buy a used bike or seeking a cheap bike. This bike is suitable for aged people and for them, who have no need speed and style. You can use this bike as your personal vehicle within your city or in your village.
