      Bike ka look bahut hi achha hai. Disc brakes aur speed bhi first-class hai. Isme 6 gear hai. Black color bahut hi stylish lagta hai. Mileage bhi achha hai. Downpayment bhi reasonable hai.

      The power delivery is awesome and the breaking is stiff and nice. Nice ergonomics. The riding position was good but the pillion comfort is low other wise. It's nice bike.

      It is a wonderful machine with mileage and killer looks. It can be use by beginner who planning to buy a 200 cc bike and it is value for money.
