My dad bought this bike for me in Madurai, color alpha red.
From the first day I could not leave it. I used to make it idle at neutral, that sound is unmatched, like Smoother Enfield. Even we can compose a music with that beats. ;-)
This bike is cheaper than some scooters but doesnt feel cheap. Gear shift all backwards thats the speciality and never caused confusions.
Switching gear is very assuring as it gives feedback. This is the Honda engines speciality, which you cant get in Bajaj.
People who blindly go for Bajaj or Hero should look at world class Honda which is now affordable. Ground clearance is very high and makes village travels easier. Pillion riders also feel its awesome.
