Pros	Engine performance is brilliant Refined redline behaviour Braking is very strong & spot-on Suspension setup is perfectly tuned for road Overall design & build quality is superb	Superbly priced for the segment it belongs to Use of cycle parts from siblings makes the maintenance costs less Puch-packed performance from the engine Agile handling makes it fun to ride on the city streets Braking entices confidence inside the new riders
Cons	Design is already aged in global markets No modern features like the TFT console Lack of safety features like slipper clutch	Design looks similar to the smaller N250 and NS200 Build quality could have been better considering the use of cycle parts Seat comfort is not as good as you would like it to be Barebone features like LCD console make it feel less premium
