        This bike is very good in terms of performance and quality, but its price is too high. Honda should consider reducing the price to make it more competitive. At this price point, there are many other good options available, such as the Xtreme 125 and N125, which offer similar features and value. A price reduction would make this bike a much better choice for buyers.
