      Good bike but not that reliable and it's very difficult to get spare parts, don't expect the service to be budget friendly.

      I ride this bike since last November 2020.Changed clutch plates twice.It’s heavy on maintenance and you will need to have patience to wait for spare parts.

      Not use for work only for style and expensive bike . More petrol consumption. Not support to sitting. And not support to Rapido or Uber or Swiggy or Zomato .

      When evaluating comfort is vibration and noise levels. It performs well in this regard.
