Hello friends,
this is my second attemp to write a review on the bike that I have since the last 19 months.
comments were that I had loaded it with lot of technical information which they could get at the site so lets cut it short to the experience with my bike.
the things that I like about my bike:
1.good mileage of 55-58 km/ltr
2.vibration free and silent drive(i didnt experience any vibrations as other riders have said)
3.good seating
4.good handling
5.the disc doesnt lock
the things that I dont like about the bike:
1.very bad service(inadequate personnel)
2.simple dashboard
3.factory horn is bad
4.skinny tyres
5.fuel gauge does not move above the red line even with 3 litres in tha tank
6.low ground clearance
one personal experience that I had iwth the bike was that the fuel inlet pipe got clogged and hence therefore the bike used to run for 2 mins and stop. wait again for 10 mins and then again run for 2 mins. I had to go through hell to get the honda people to my house to fix the problem . they insisted me on getting the bike to the service centre even on telling them repeatedly that that bike doesnt not run. after lot of scolding and talking to atleat 5 people a man was sent tp my place without an tools. he came over and asked me if had any tools. at the end I had to take him to the nearby mechanic shop to get some tools. he later said that due to the bad quality of fuel the inlet pipe got clogged. and since then the bike has been running without a problem.
the bike is good with a pillion rider. the monoshock is really good when with a pillion and takes the potholes really well. but one big disadvantage is the ground clearance. my dad is a around 85 kilos and me at 70 kilos the bike gets really low. driving single is no problem but when with my dad or my heavy friends the bike will hit any speed breaker.
the bike has no cold start problem. its starts without any fuss. the electric start is very good and works in any gear with an engaged clutch. The bike doesnt come with an engine kill switch though which could have been easily accommodated on the right handle. the bike doesnt come with a side stand indicator which is standard on any bike today.
well I guess I have covered all the vital points. plz comment on my review whether u have likded it or not. DRIVE SAFE !!
