        The bike looks amazing, with BS6 emission and 1160 cc engine. But it is very costly for a two wheeler.

        The bike isn't suitable for tall riders, very uncomfortable to drive on long routes. Overall performance is average.

        The new display looks great, but very slow to boot up. If you are looking for local rides then it's good to use.
