      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.

      Being a 500cc bike it's a good choice, and because it's a liquid cool twin engine. The heating in city rides is ok, bearable in highway till 200kmph the bike handles well. overall a good bike with a sweet sound. sound is excellent with stock exhaust. dual channel switchable ABS is great as well. Great city and good for long ride. I like the bike.
