About the Reviewer

The bike looks good and is larger compared to RE 350, it's a premium segment bike with an affordable price range, a Good bike with no vibration, super smooth on long drives, cruising experience is too good, overall I feel lucky having this bike.
Feels heavy as from my experience, you habitat it will not be a major issue

About the Reviewer

Worst bike in all aspects please don't buy splendor has better performance
Riding posture also not comfortable
Buy some other bike instead it's good they stopped producing this bike don't go for 2nd hand market also
Service cost and spares cost is also very high and has only one service station in and around Bangalore

About the Reviewer

Firstly, Don't fall for the false sales pitch from these guys. They just want to sell bikes all on false notes, the parts cost a lot just for reference Clutch plates costs around 7500 + 1200 for installation.. Which is crazy and the durability is very low .
Maintanence is very expensive after 2nd service.
I would not recommend this bike for daily commute.

About the Reviewer

As a college student I craved for more power because this was better than a royal enfield but as a typical teenager I changed its exaust, and now I technically got a single cylinder bike which sounds like a parallel twin engine and has significantly increased power and pickup, despite the exaust the engine is still smooth like a butter but the only thing which troubles me is the availability of parts at the showroom, the service is poor so I have no hate for the bike but it needs a weight reduction and a better-turning radius cuz this is like turning a car.

About the Reviewer

My first impression got by service cost but when a new bike was given for the first service after one-month bike got stopped in the middle road and then taken a bike at my own expense of spending 2000rs in a tempo van and then showroom giving an ignition problem ok that too fine. Recently on Feb '23 given a bike clutch plate change in 8k km then after a month in April '23 again got an issue with gear shifting but the showroom person told me that has a problem in the engine sector told.

The bike performance is very good.
But when it comes to maintenance it is too costly.
Every now & then you will have a problem.
When you have a service station 40km from your location very hard to find a spare part for Benelli in my location.
The average of this bike can get up to 25kmpl. The only reason not to buy this is because of the service station.

About the Reviewer

After using it for 3 years I am writing my experience 1st problem split seat very horrible back suspension is very hard, if you are doing long trips you can go with this for city drive I will not recommend it can not drive for 50 km my arms body starts painting its very difficult to drive city gulls,
2nd problem bike is made in china I am riding daily 40 km my office is just 12 from my home 16000 km I have spent rs 9500 chain, the cone set rs5000, the front fork oil seal rs 3000 clutch started problems now, I am taking a bike on time for service even for city drive I have spent more than 40k for replacing in 3 years time
Look & performance wise it's good but the quality so worst, bajaj bike has better quality

About the Reviewer

My personal review is that
Performance: one of the best bikes in this segment uff the initial torque is very much impressive esp no lag which makes it easy for overtaking
Comfort:
1)ground clearance is one of the major drawbacks when a pillion rider sits on the central stand and easily hits the speed breaker.
2)heating issue is one of the major drawbacks especially in city rides the heat waves hits our leg
3)riding comfort is good in this bike and handling feels good compared with similar-segment bikes
long rides we can do it easily without much back pain also tiredness won't be felt
Mileage and service:
1)parts are very much expensive compared to similar segment vehicles also there is a delay in service centers majorly there are only a few service stations
2)as for me in Chennai city am getting a mileage of 22-26 kmpl whereas in highways 28-30 kmpl
Conclusion:
If you are gonna get this bike for daily use it is not at all recommended but if ur a long ride lover this bike is perfect the negative point is parts are expensive and tyres are tube other than that I could say it is one of the best bikes in the segment have ever ride.
