I I bought this bike 5 months ago after doing a thorough study of all other vehicles.Here are my comments

Amazing style and looks are the best in its class. It catches everyone’s attention.
Build quality is great in its class. Complete steel body (80% steel, 20% fibre), metal brakes, metal mirrors, Strong vehicle.
My top speed was 100KMPH and it was very steady. Many a times I was at 70-80 km speed and I dont even know that I was at 80 km, It is so smooth.
Engine comes to a stop much quicker than Activa
It has a powerful engine. Picks up speed very quickly. No problems with the kickstart like in other vehicles.
Very Sleek probably the sleekest in 125cc vehicles.
I had my first service and it was hassle free. I got my vehicle in 2 hrs. No appointments, no queues like honda activa (which I like the most).

The front brake is not very powerful but in my experience if I use both the brakes, the vehicle stops immediately. I dont see any problem.
Mileage 42 KMPL in bangalore traffic. less when compared to other vehicles.
The price is RS.20, 000 more than an activa/swift. For the quality I recieved from the vehicle, I felt that it deserves the price. Moreover, since the engine is imported from Italy, we pay double the registration fees. That too adds to the 20, 000.
The competitor for this vehicle is swish. It had amazing performance (great pickup and effective braking) but it is fibre body, bulky and doesn’t look good at all...
