I bought this Bike on Last Thursday and 28.06.2012 after a long waiting period of 6 months and whooping Rs. 1, 65, 935/- in Pune with exclusive of accessories worth Rs. 5000/- (including Rs. 3500/- RE make Silencer and Rs. 1500/- for 3 Pipe Guard) & Total 1, 70, 935/- . But now I feel that whatever is too good for you; you need to wait and spend money for the same.
As I said in review title this is a BULL which allows you to ride on it ; as now with the specified & actual power of 499 cc and 27.2 bhp and 41.3Nm Torque @ 4000RPM what else do you expect.
& with the customized Silencer ( worth spending Rs. 3500/- to buy R.E. make than buying local made which will give less satisfaction with engine problems ) the sound is like " Bullet Chale toh Sab Rasta De"
Point to Point:
Cant imagine if someone is thinking about mileage while buying this Bike as its inversely proportional to the power .
The Comfort due to dual suspension i.e. telescopic and spring for the driver but for the pinion its little less comfortable even if NITROX SUSPENSIONS and she/he may feel some jerks while riding on pot hole roads. The posture while riding is restricted by the design of the bike so that you can have maximum comfort .
Reliability vise this bike is excellent subject to on time servicing and following the guidelines given by manufacturer in Owners Manual also with well equipped 6 sensors such as roll over sensor, engine malfunction sensor, fuel sensor etc. bike made 2100 century bike...
The weight of the bike is maintained in a good sense of actual handling , wind speeds and the wind throw by passing vehicles on high way cant bother the bike even by centimeter;
Rear tyres width of 90/90-19 gives you good hold on the road and also looks good.
Looks of this bike are great and with the color of Teal Green which I bought it is different than all other bikes.
The classic looks of the bike is mainly focuses by the height, tank size, tiger eye look head lamps, the classic look of tail lamp.
Other than its a mans bike made for men and shall ride by men..
