The main drawback of this bike is the vibration.There is no refinement on this bike.We can’t see through the rearview mirrors.The mirror also vibrates along with the bike. The engine on this bike requires frequent maintaenance.After long rides the engine oil starts to leak.The engine oil problem is still continues even after servicing.The bike is not so fuelefficient.It gives around 20kmpl mileage.Which is a major drawback for a touring bike. The brakes wearout sooner.There is no fuel gauge which is also a drawback for a touring bike.The engine heats up in traffic but there is no powerloss. Overall I didnt feel comfortable with this bike, but there are some good points too. Owning this bike is a pride among others, and if you are a guy who have a lot of money to spend on a bike, then you can go for bullet 500
