TVS Phoenix Price in Ambajogai

I have owned my phoenix for nearly 8.5 years now at the time of writing this review. Yeah, took my time with it. Here is what I think of it.
Pros
1. Solid reliability with low running cost
2. A full tank can easily last for 500-600 kms of mixed riding. I ride fast with always speeds above 60 kmph so that is my take.
3. Great looks for a commuter
4. Suspension is comfortable for longer rides
5. You can do long-distance rides on it with significant luggage. I did a 850 km long journey with even mountains and long narrow back roads, this bike surprisingly held up well.
6. Higher economy speed of 60kmph. Great for highway cruising.
7. Lightweight so easily managed in city traffic.
8. Tvs after discontinuing this still provide amazing service of this model and cheap too.
9. Has a surprising top end for a 4-speed geared unit.
10. Can be amusing to ride every time you get on it for it's quirky nature.
Cons
1. Desparately needed the 5th gear
2. Lightweight means higher speed stability is a question of how efficient is your riding
3. Lacks basic instrumentation like time or distance to empty even when it has a fully digital instrument cluster
4. Vibrations are always persistent
5. The sweet spot is 45 kmph which is not ideal for faster traffic conditions
6. Has had historically better 125cc competitive from other companies
Having said all these, after all these years of owning one, i enjoyed every bit of it as it is still my first ever ride. Tvs phoenix is a great blast from the good old days when motorcycling used to be fun and fuel prices weren't burning holes in everyone's pocket! cheers.
