I bought this bike for
1)Style.
2)Road Grip. (braking and corner balance)
3)Performance.
Coming to style you must be knowing that its based on Honda’s superbike design. Its cool. Especially the front and side views are just cooooool.
Road grip is mainly due to the tyres but also depends on the design of the bike. You just bend the bike and rest is looked after by it. This is the place where Pulsar (150/180/Normal/DTSi) could not keep up. Outstanding braking.
Performance - the initial accelaration is a bit low compared to the huge Pulsar 180CC, but when once you reach 90kmph and higher the bike never let you down.
MILEAGE - I get a mileage of around 45(min) - 48(max)kmpl in city with heavy traffic. On highways its a bit high about 49kmpl
Regarding the engine I have absolutely no problem. I had driven it to its max RPM, POWER, SPEED. Beleieve it or not my speedometer showed a value of some 130+KMPH.
As such I am not very tall (5 f 4i) so I have a bit problem about the height but you get used to it.
