• 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.	Peppy engine delivers engaging performance for young riders. Lightweight chassis improves track agility significantly. Sharp handling enhances cornering confidence. Responsive suspension absorbs track bumps effectively. Compact design suits smaller riders comfortably.
  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.	High maintenance increases ownership demands. No road legality limits versatility. Firm ride reduces comfort during long sessions.
