        driven by a 648cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine with 47 horsepower and 52 Nm of torque. A six-speed gearbox that is linked to the engine allows for precise and seamless shifting.

        With rear-set footpegs and clip-on handlebars, it offers a lively riding stance. For riders who prefer a more upright position or for extended journeys, its aggressive riding stance might not be the best option.

        Good bike but not that reliable and it's very difficult to get spare parts, don't expect the service to be budget friendly.

        I ride this bike since last November 2020.Changed clutch plates twice.It’s heavy on maintenance and you will need to have patience to wait for spare parts.
