Pros & Cons

Classic 650 Pros & Cons	KLX 230 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.
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.
