      As a beginner, this is one of the best bikes that you could start on. The bike is super easy and comfortable to maneuver in the city. At the same, it gives you confidence on the highways.

      I just love this bike, it is light weight and easy to handle. Just dissapointed with the thinly padded seat and pricey accessories. Otherwise I'm totally satisfied and is completely worth to buy!

      Refinement, Reliable, Build quality and comfort, these four points are great for this bike. Since the pillion seat is narrow, so it is not advisable for ride with pillion.
