I bought this real beast on 3rd November 2010 and have driven 1100 km. I have completed 1st servicing. The most favourable points are as follows:
1. Extreme smoothness - this is the main feature of this bike. You cann’t feel any fibration at higher speed. Unless you look into the digital console you cann’t realise what is the speed and in which gear you are running.
2. No vibration at higher speed at higher gears, even at lower gears at lower speed also.
- Very good suspension.
4. Fuel economy - it is 45 - 50 in city riding. Sometimes this is surprisingly low and the subsequent filling of oil it gives suprisingly high mileage. I don’t know why this happens.
5. Excellent digital console with unique gear indicator, 2 trip meters and an odometer, and watch also.
Looks of the bike is also excellent.
Large fuel tank with remarkable usable reserve (3.1L)
It has some disadvantages also. I feel less initial pick up till 25 km / hr and the turning radius is a little bit long. Otherwise it is excellent value for your hard earned money.
But friends don’t rely only on these user reviews. Take a test ride of the short listed bikes before buying. I am sure you can feel the difference.
