My brother bought this bike in 2004 after researching and going through it’s competitors. He chose black/silver color and it was actually the most beautiful color among the others.
It’s been 11 years now and I have this bike in Bangalore. The sound is still crisp and engine is still good. It’s still one the best in 100-150cc range in terms of pickup. It’s unable to go to 100km/hr now as it starts vibrating a lot after 70. Mileage has gone down drastically. I think it’s my fault as I’ve been really lazy in giving it a regular servicing.
I hope to keep this bike a little more and then may be go for the next generation bikes.
