• Pros & Cons

  Pros	Modern-retro design looks good on the motorcycle Biggest single-cylinder 652cc engine Torque motor with 55 Nm of peak torque Thumpy exhaust note More affordable and powerful than its primary rival Equipped with Brebmo brakes and Pirelli Phantom tyres	The best looking bike in this price Low seat height makes it easy for short riders Good punch from the motor
  Cons	Misses on modern features like digital cluster, bluetooth connectivity and more The 5-speed transmission may disappoint some riders The chrome on the motorcycle is difficult to maintain Given that BSA is a new brand in the country, the number of sales and service centers is relatively limited	Not for those looking at a practical bike Excessive heat from the engine in traffic Slightly firm ride quality
