• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	The familiar retro design will appeal to customers. The twin pea-shooter exhaust pipes give the bike a more ‘complete’ look. The Vallam Red paint scheme, along with oodles of chrome looks and feels premium. The 648cc engine comes with the same linear acceleration, precise fueling and widespread torque. It gets a removable rear seat.	Smooth clutchless E-Clutch. Comfortable upright riding posture. Dual front discs & New headlamp. Strong mid-range torque. Modern adventure-ready design.
  Cons	Not many connectivity features on offer. Sharing its sub-frame with the Shotgun 650, the ride quality is likely to be on the stiffer side. The 243kg kerb weight makes it the heaviest RE motorcycle yet.	Heavier feel in urban riding. Premium pricing for segment. Limited service touch points.
