I own this bike from jan 2009 nd till date apart frm the regular service checks i’ve not spent a single pie on any other maintenance. This has been my reliable partner for many trips ranging frm 40 kms to 200 kms at a stretch. The bike politely obeys my every command nd behaves the way I want it to. The only regret I hav is dat I need to kick it at least 40 times in order to start if it has been parked for 15 days. I guess the maker seriously needs to consider dat part. It feels little under powered in city. Mileage has not been a prob coz it’s probly d best in 150cc class.
Also it weighs 159 kilos with full tank petrol!!! Guess d company should consider using more aluminium nd cut out pounds of iron. It handles like a darling within 100kmph (it starts bouncing after dat due to soft suspension). Though thr aren’t any vibrations even at 110 kmph. U can feel d weight wen u go past 100. Braking Smooth gear shift easy clutch nd honda reliability r the gr8est assets of this bike. Huge tank gives it charm but design is bit off d rack which may not appeal evry1.
However 1 can scrap d headlight and try a twin headlamp design which would give it a naked bike look. U never get bored with this bike.
Happy riding
