Ok this is for people who are carrying out a research before buying a bike but this is one of the worst bikes you could ever invest in. I bought the bike in september 2002 and to date which is not even a year I have had to visit the mechanics about 40 times and this is no Exaggeration . The mileage the pickup the power of the bike are things which you would at times get better from a handcart. I get a mileage of average 30 kmpl. And the bike begins vibrating at 60km climbing slopes is a joke cause it feels like the bike is going to fall to pieces at any moment. It is loaded with gadgets which adds to the number of problems it has. the bike which I had at least has a problem of just stopping at any time which at times is very frustrating. The only thing good of the bike I can say is the looks. which if u take away you are left with a very very expensive hand cart. My advise to every one is not to make the same mistake I made and buy this bike cause it will first burn a whole in ur pocket then a hole in your patience.
