      Power sufficient when needed. Handling is awesome and composed. Looks great from rear, specially. Basic safety features, power, looks all it has, only it's lacks in the area of mileage. ABS truly a life saving features in here, I have used it in real condition and it's fantastic. Comfort is very good but long rides can make you take breaks more than needed. Vibrations do can be felt above certain rpms. But it depends how warmup the engine has done before the takeoff session. Brakes also work too well. All led work superb at night. Special note and appreciation to the exhaust note, very well heavy for this class of bike and very soothing to the ears. Lastly pillion seat needs ladder for most of the family members at home as it best suits for younger riders than an average bike rider.... Overall, complete package for those who are seeking power and looks (value for money), both. This bike won't disappoint you in any way.

      Bike is good but maintenance is too high. The average service cost was initially low, but as time goes on, it rises. Road performance is good.

      It is a sports bike and gives an excellent performance outcome. The engine is very reliable, the power delivery is very subtle, the design is very aggressive and sporty, the only thing that I have issue is with the parts availability. Showroom asks you for 3-4 days for any part requirement every time I visited.
