I bought this bike thinking it is very economical which proved to the contrary.
I feel that this bike has been highly over rated. It is quite delicate and requires regular high maintainance after about a year. Spares are very expensive, one is at the mercy of dealers, who are a few in the city. there is a long waiting list and there is struggle between new users who have free service and regular users. Labour charges are too high and there is no guarantee on major works, such as engine overhauling, clutch plates etc. There is tremendous rusting of almost the entire bike no matter what precautions are taken. The company is yet to come out with modifications or new bike that is suited to our weather conditions such as heavy rains, hot and humid weather, salty air because of which the bike looses its shine or appearance within one monsoon. The bike is very well known, hence can be handled by most mechanics even when out of station. This bike is most suited for long distance single users for economics. Not good for rugged terrain as all sorts of maintainance arises too soon. Road grip is quite poor for single users while braking. One should rate the pros and cons vis a vis the price and the competition. Also not recommended for heavy night users dependant on poor headlight.
