    Pros & Cons

    Pros
    • Good alternative to other expensive cruisers
    • Will look better / premium than the current 650cc bikes
    • Will use the smooth & punchy 650cc from Interceptor
    • Modern-retro design looks good on the motorcycle
    • Biggest single-cylinder 652cc engine
    • Torque motor with 55 Nm of peak torque
    • Thumpy exhaust note
    • More affordable and powerful than its primary rival
    • Equipped with Brebmo brakes and Pirelli Phantom tyres
    Cons
    • Lights look very similar to Meteor 350
    • No signs of LED illumination for headlamps and tail lamp cluster
    • Misses on modern features like digital cluster, bluetooth connectivity and more
    • The 5-speed transmission may disappoint some riders
    • The chrome on the motorcycle is difficult to maintain
    • Given that BSA is a new brand in the country, the number of sales and service centers is relatively limited

        The bike has superb road presence and is a head turner. When loaded and crusing on highway at 60 to 80 kmph speed, it gives a good road grip and accelerates smoothly. Being low on ground clearance the suspension is obviously bit rigid which gives a bit of bumpy ride when not loaded. Recommended for long distance cruising on highways and not for off loading. Headlights needs refurbishment for night riders.

        Great machine such a cool and powerful bike from my perspective. I would recommend this bike, though not for off-roading. Still, you can take it anywhere if you're confident enough.
