      It's a nice bike with a nice fit and finish, best for city commutes and long runs. I love my bike very much. No problem yet; I've done about 1400 miles. 900 km in single stretch no heating or anything else, just for fuel break

      Great ride. Lots of power and maneuvers. Not heavy and easy to handle even in traffic. Good for 200 - 300 km distances in 1 go. Cruiser position is lacking and can be further improved.

Its 398cc engine delivers smooth power, making it perfect for both city rides and highway cruising. The bike's retro-modern design, featuring high-quality finishes and attention to detail, sets it apart from competitors.
