This is Mukesh from Hyderabad, I have been a great Fan of This bike since the day it launched here Hyderabad and a PROUD owner since Jun 2006.
The Product was Amazing and had a test drive, and immediately decided to Book 1.
I shall keep the review Short and Easy for potential buyers.
The PRO’s of the BIKE.
>The LOOKS of the bike, even till date make the ’AAM JANTA’ turn their heads., and you get a spl. treatment when you land up @ public Parking places[shopping malls, Multiplexes] just because of the shear size of the vehicle.
>The Bike has Amazing Pick up, and Zaps away from the SIGNAL like a trace of Bullet.
>Has very very good Handling, and maneuvers very well even in sharp curves @ speeds of 35-45Kmph.
>Has excellent Shocks to give that CLASS feeling of Riding this mighty beast on TOUGH roads.
>The Riding comfort need no mention as one of the best you can ever find on any of the Indian Bikes.
>The Millage that I have been consistenly getting since I have been using the SHELL-Super fuel, is around 44-46kmpl and this is achived when I ride the bike @ speeds of 45-55kmph range.
And avoid Sudden brakes, and frequent stopping.
The CON’s of the BIKE.[I hate this part when it comes for My BIKE :( ]
>The PILION riding position is only ment for good young youth, and not for OLD adults, who feel the pains all over while they try to Board this BEAST ;)
>Very difficult to HANDLE the PUNTURE situation I mean Very very difficult.[removing and assembling back the wheeel is like a JIG SAW puzzle]
>The HEAD LIGHTS are preety week, and needs more coiling to shine brighter.
>The Maintainence is a bit expensive, as every time I leave it for servicing the normal, charges of Labour and Oil cange come up to around 600 bucks.
>The DISK brake should be made standard and the COST be reduced as well.[Mine is a non disk brake version].
>The ENGINE off button is missing the same as we have in PULSAR bikes.
Thats it,
I guess this should be Quick points to be noted before making your choice of Bikes.
