Riding through scenic beauties of India and enjoying the open air has no other alternate to those who are love long journeys. One such rider, Supornno Basu, recently completed a 1125 km journey from Asansol, West Bengal to Namchi, Sikkim in just 52 hours. Supornno was accompanied by his friend Aamit Kumar on a TVS Apache RTR 160.

The journey started at 4 AM on 14th April 2017 and took around 16 hours to reach Namchi on the same day (8 PM). After a comfortable sleep, they went for sightseeing and had their lunch at the same place.

Around 2 PM on 15th April 2017, the journey back to the hometown started. It took around 18 hours to reach Asansol as driving at night takes more precautions and definitely the speed would have been lesser than the last day.

The journey ended at Asansol on 16th April 2017 at around 8 AM. You can have a glimpse of the journey through the video shared by the Supornno:

The trusted better half for this long ride was his Royal Enfield Continental GT. The motorcycle is a powerful cafe racer that comes with a 535 cc, single cylinder engine that uses air cooling and fuel injection.

The power production peaks at 29.1 BHP at 5100 rpm and 44 Nm at 4000 rpm. It weighs 184 kg and use premium equipment like Pirelli Sport Demon rubber, Brembo front braking, tubeless spoke wheels, 41 mm front forks and Paioli gas charged rear shocks. Congratulations to Supornno Basu for successfully completing his weekend trip.
