I purchased this bike on 18th August 07 and got it from jaipur. As I belong to Kota I have to take it to Kota by road which is 260 Kms fom JAIPUR.
I tried the bike on all speeds and I can say one thing balance is superb and it is 100% sure footed.I was with pillion rider and took the bike to a max of 127 Kmph beyond that the road conditions did not allowed. this speed too only once and merely for one Kms , but 115kmph - 118 kmph number of and for long Kms.
I drove continuously for more than 160 km [distance] at stretch and the bike was in good shape I mean to say no heating in the engine.So for me definitely it very reliable.
I reached Kota only by taking one stop for 30 minutes. So it perfect for long drivings. Very comfortable. But dont forget to have gloves for long drives otherwise your hands will be burnt in sunlight at a speed of above 100 kms,
You can easily drive at 70 Kmph in the city and you wont feel that speed. You will feel like 40 Kmph.
Now I got the first service done and the bike coarse sound has also disappeared. It hardly feel like started. At 60 kmph it seems like the bike is switched off and travelling. So silent it is.
Over all superb bike in the lot.
