      Compared to Kawasaki, it is less expensive to maintain and gets 25 km/l in the city and 28–30 km/l on the highway.

      Overall, choosing it over the Versys was the best choice I could have made because it is worth 1.5 lakh more than a sports tourer.

      Although the price is a little high, the quality of the parts and engine smoothness you get make up for it.
