      This is an awesome bike, excelling in design, performance, and durability. The engine sound adds to its appeal, and the stylish, retro appearance stands out. Features like dual ABS and alloy wheels make it even more impressive and enjoyable to ride.

      This bike is very comfortable for long rides. However, it can be a bit difficult to handle in traffic as the steering feels heavy. On the highway, it delivers decent mileage of around 28 km/l.
