First I should greet you, because you selected my review for your bike selection process. I will try to give a brief info about this bike which I bought it on 16th November, 2011 in Bangalore (Whitefield - Trijal motors) for an amount of Rs. 51, 650/- including all accessories i.e., saree guard, tank cover, seat cover, hand grip, engine guard etc., The contents mentioned in this review is my belief. If you find anything wrong, just feel free to comment.
The main thing what I should mention is, I was very much awaited to purchase a new bike for my daily commuting. Because I am staying 20 kms. away from my office. As in Bangalore daily traveling in public transport was hectic.
I did a lot of research on internet, surfed many websites about bikes like, MouthShut_Official, bikeadvice etc., like you. right? ha ha ha. .
My budget was around 50 to 55 thousand. Shortlisted Discover 100, 125 , TVS Star city, Sport. My wish was to buy Star city as it was having a good looks, better mileage and muscular little bit. After arranging all amount, I went and booked. Within a day they delivered me the bike. As I booked the bike, the fuel price got cheaper by 2.83/ltr. and again on 01st December, got cheaper again as some 70 paise. WOW. . . .
Now the odometer clocked 750 kms, time for the first service. As of now roughly I am getting around 60 mileage. I am satisfied from this product. The controlling of the bike is very effective. But, the only drawback is the TVS Tyres which skids easily on wet surfaces. I was about to fall once in Sarjapur Road while going to visit my friend. Somehow I controlled, as I usually ride the bike in very economical speed i.e., 40-45 kmph. Just main thing is to take care of this motor, apply for all bikes, in running in period. This is what the deciding factor of yours (whatever the name you like to call your bike).
Except the Tyre grip, bike feels very good in all aspects. I have not gone for any long trips. after Two services, planning to go. Even I recommended the bike to my friend. He was also impressed with the controlling of the bike, weight etc.,
Thank you for spending your precious time to read my review. Hope this review gives some info on the bike. You are always welcome to comment. .
