        Best naked bike in its segment killer looks and a high-performance engine, yet budget-friendly. If you’re thinking of buying a 400cc bike, no doubt, go for it.

        Potent engine, sharp handling, and a feature-rich experience in a compact package. The blue color has a great shine and brightness, making it perfect for road trips. Overall, a very good experience.
