I have purchased this bike last December 2009, done around 9000 Kms, without any major problem.Except for the paint job of crash guard, saree guard which is peeling off( may be due to the proximity near to seashore) I, have not faced any major problems, giving me a decent mileage of 70 - 75 Km per liter.
I have traveled from Kochi to Trivandrum on my bike four times (230 Kms) approx, one way, without any problem. The only let down, I felt the bike has is, when down shifting the gears. Other wise a good commuter bike for day to day use.
