They got the kms / miles conversion wrong on the second page. I like the bike!

I like those. They look beefy...I hope they put that motor in touring bikes.

1952 miles...yawn. I don't deny the S is a decent bike. This is silly proof, however.

5 riders to do under 2k miles in 24 hours? Indian Butt Association... *YAWN*

I would like someone to explain the math here (3,141 kilometers or 1952 miles in 24 hours) 5 x 972 /= 1952 miles.

The experienced riders each handled sections lasting just over 600 kilometers (972 miles). The team was comprised of Malo Le Masson, Head of Strategy and Global Product Planning at Hero MotoCorp, Vijay Thomas, Lead Brand Marketing and Customer Experience with the Harley-Davidson Business Unit, Shubhabrata Marmar, Editor at Powerdrift, Vijay Singh, founder of Rajputana Customs and, of course, Anushriya Gulat.

Mechanical problems in frame #6.
Swapped out major components to fix it. Is that how the warranty is going o work when it hits the market?
Not impressed.

I'd vote for the girl but the bike doesn't do anything for me.
