I am a regular commuter. I take my bike to my office. Daily average commute is 29kms and commuting is on a highway.Its been 11 months since purchase and have touched approx 10, 120 kms so far.
Pros:-
1) Reasonably priced (62, 000) ex-showroom Thane.
2) Highway run- Initially it gave aroung 60kmpl, City - 55kmpl.
3) Design is good, sporty look. Being an office commuter I didnt want to compromise with the looks and the mileage. (Initially till 9, 000 kms it was so far so good)
Cons:
1) After 9, 500 kms on Highway, mileage has been reduced to 45kmpl.
2) Loud Engine noise can clearly be heard from a speed of 55km onwards.
3) Vibrations can clearly be felt at a speed of 55 onwards.
4) Flaring is average - Night riding can be risky at times when there are no
5) Bike tends to skid every time when I apply rear brakes at a speed of around 30-40 kms. So you dont get confidence while riding it. I also own a pulsar 150 and Honda Unicorn, but such thing never happened with them and also with none of the other bikes that I have rode till date.
At 9, 500 kms, My bike was lying idle for 2 weeks. I started commuting again after those 2 weeks and mileage has been greatly reduced at 45kmpl on a highway.
I have had 3 servicing done till 9, 500 kms. I guess its time to take the bike for another round of servicing. I will update again after this 4th servicing.
I wouldn’t have written a review untill this bike started giving me 45kmpl from the initial 60kmpl.
Given the fact that the mileage is decreasing, I now think I would rather have had a Bullet.
