        This vehicle has truly won my heart! I wish it were available with a 0 down payment—it would be wonderful. I hope the bank or dealership provides this option. Thank you.

        This bike is very comfortable for long rides. The only drawback is the pillion seat, but the solo performance is excellent. The braking is outstanding—I would give it 5 stars. Overall, I love its performance in the 155cc segment.
