I bought it from a showroom at delhi. I am using it since 1 year, the ride of bike is really comfortable and fun. I like it's look very much, performance is beyond my expectations. But it has some how high servicing n maintenance cost because of its big engine but that's fine. Pros - 1. Comfortable for long rides n tours

Delectable riding pleasure
2 years ago
Shibashis Kundu
Once you take a test ride, you will definitely like the feel. Great comfortable riding, I use it daily for office commute mainly. Has a low riding position so suitable for not so tall guys/ gals. It has very smooth riding experience and the brakes are really spot on! I think it's punch line should be" delectable riding pleasure!!" once you hit the throttle you will feel the stomp and thrill. While riding also you won't feel any difference between 40 or 100, no vibration problems. I have done only one service till now and it cost around 5500/- The only con is its very low ground clearance-130 mm which really makes it tough to go over Indian road bumpers. The silencer gets hit on every bumper.
