User Review of CB Trigger by Pranab

Hello fellow riders...Please bear with me as my review can be a bit long..As i feel...Its not about the destination.....Its all about the ride...A synopsis of the past....I started riding motorcycles from 2002..Being a 20 yr old boy , who barely crossed his teens and a bit influenced by those 'definitely male' ads , i convinced my dad and went for a bajaj pulsar , with round headlamps , discs and spoke wheels. Oh boy , college days became more fun (obviously outside colleges).After couple of years and approx 20k kms it came up with engine problems which could not be fixed. Sold it and bought honda unicorn from todi honda kolkata. Gem of a motorcycle. It was with me for 2 and half years. No issues . Sold it as i was in real need of money for my capital investment in my upcoming business venture. Sold it for 48k and bought a used hero honda ambition for 18k. It digested another 10k in during its 2 yr stay with me. A real headache which even a amratunjan roll on can't tackle. Sold it for 10k and went to buy yamaha fz from leaders yamaha kolkata. My loan was not sanctioned. The reason they gave was bizarre : as i was doing my business in rural bengal and my business center lies there and if i become a defaulter the recovery agency wont be able to track me to recover the dues . But i reside in proper kolkata and my bank ac and it file has enough criteria for this loan. They said a sorry and i moved on. I was so pissed off i decided to not buy yamaha products anymore. Next i went to amit hero kolkata and bought a hero honda hunk on loan from hdfc bank.My luck striked again . After few thousand kilometres this one also got an engine problem. The service center fixed it as it was under warranty. Again after a few thousand kms it came back and they fixed it. And again for the third time. The fourth time the warranty was over and i immediately sold it off for 42k.Bcoz its pointless to put your money on a baseless pit. now what to do..Is my luck really bad with motorcycles or i drive badly..I asked myself..If so why did the honda unicorn didint give me problems?.. Between all these thoughts i went to royal enfield showroom for test drive and was pleased with the ride.Was discussing with a friend of mine which one to take , classic or thunderbird?....Which aftermarket alloy wheels and tubeless tyres to take fix (i definitely needed tubeless ones as there were very few repair shops on the route i travel and none is open in the night)?.....When a salesperson overheard us and said sir you cant fix alloys, bcoz if any engine problem comes the co will not cover you under warranty..What the f ??? i and my childhood buddy were both due for a smoke. He said , 'are bhai why dont we go to shah honda showroom once which is nearby, and remember honda suits you.' are he said my ' mann ki baat'. We rode to shah honda with cbr in mind. The buying experience:Tried cbr ..Nice cool motorcycle..But many things were going on in my mind that time , will it be ok for daily commuting? open chain will create problems on muddy rural roads?...Shifted my focus on honda trigger. It was all white..Looking superb in the showroom. Tried it..Oh typical honda smoothness.Came back home and went through a few reviews..All were positives..Thought for a while...The more i asked myself my inner self told me to go for honda again.Went to the showroom within 2 days . It was august 2014. Bought it straight away in white (this time no loan??). They took just 2 hours to get all done. The white was not ready with them. The behavior and entire process was good.Riding experience:A honda is a honda always . That butter smooth feeling. But i felt , my old unicorn was really butter cream smooth.But this one had a bit more punch. So relaxing it was , at times i started taking optional longer routes to home.....Just for sheer more ride time.....It was my way of getting relaxed after a hectic day.Make your child fall in love with motorcycles.....He wont have the time to fall for drugs.Superb handling . Superb mileage. Headlight power was not adequate for my night drive along nh117. Fixed two led focused lights. Brakes are perfect. I majorly drive around 50kmph mark. Occasionally to unwind , my white rabbit touches 80kmph mark. In both the cases brakes are just perfect ( no cbs ). Getting approx 55kmpl after 25k kms(tank full reserve method).The mileage did not deteriorate after these 4 long years. One thing i must admit :Honda pours soul into their engines. They make life easy. service experience:After 3 yrs and around 18k kms my trigger started giving heating issues. After running for approx 15 kms the engine started releasing so much heat that it was really uncomfortable for the legs. My past experience came haunting me. Is it again time for a new motorcycle?? oh not again!...As i do my regular service from authorized service centre, thought of giving it atleast one visit and try out my fatigued hope.. They patiently understood my problem and wanted 3-4 working days to fix the problem.My machine was allotted to a guy, he is the senior mechanic. He again listened to me. Next day i got a call from them saying my white rabbit is ready. My god ! what has he done to my motorcycle engine. It was like i was driving a new one just out of showroom. And cost was a barely rs22.00. Labour charge was free as i had an amc done with them. He didn't even need to change the engine oil. Thanks shah honda for recruiting such wonderful guys.Thanks from the bottom of my heart. And another thing i must say these guys at shah honda never ever cons you with unnecessary change of parts.After that i have rode for 7k kms but that problem never reoccurred. Enjoying every bit of time i spend with my trigger.Thanks for bearing with me all through this long emotional experience of my ride life.No road is too long.....If you have a good company.Drive and ride safe ...So that you can drive or ride the next time. Take care. Stay happy.
