      Think before choose Suzuki Bike is Powerful and comfortable to ride Mileage is okay Worst part is Servicing you will find illiterate unprofessional agent who offers no empathy. They Refused to service my bike in 1st free service I got to move to other city for servicing. So think before choose Suzuki
