Most of d reviews I saw here r from pepl who hav just purchased this machine.so thot of giving a betr picture of wat xactly is d situation!
I’ve completed 12000 kms recently without any sort of problems with over an year of using this bike.i wont make any recommendations though and leave it upto u 2 decide.i’ll giv u some of my xpiriences n actual onroad stats.!
Firstly coming to d looks.most of u must hav already seen this bike on roads as its more than an year since it was launched.it definitely is good for tall and bulky people.n it looks betr wen u c it actually in front of u.d pics show d bike a bit smaller.i give full credit as far as d looks are concerned.
Next comin to d price.perfect price for d older version.i dunno y is d FI machine so costly.d best deal according to me.
D engine is quite refined as its d same shared by honda shine.goes well till 70 if u r alone on d bike.then it makes a huge noise.i’ve touched 105.cud’nt try going faster coz of d traffic.but it can definitely go faster m tellin u.
Then comes d mileage part as most indians r concerned abt it.58-60 with pillion in city n betn 62-65 on highways.if u r alone then 60-64 in city.never went alone on highways but friends told me it exceeds 65.
most of d times I went 300+ kms in a single day wenevr it was d highway part without any problems.d mileage I got was same since d day I got d machine.
it goes very well till 60 with d pillion with u if u concerned abt d mileage.but then u’ll feel d noise!
I felt d machine is definitely good for me as I commute over 50kms every day n its quite comfortable with excellent suspension.even on d longer 200km rides.d seat is good too.
there were some reviews saying abt d modification problems.but its injustice to d bike.c d orkut community for d modification part.its dun quite well in Rs.5000.
m quite satisfied with d overall performance.!
