        This bike is really nice with good mileage and low maintenance. It looks attractive, has good pickup, smooth speed, and comes in great colors. The fuel tank capacity is impressive, and it can comfortably carry up to four people. Gear shifting is smooth, and both the lights and horn work very well.
