I bought this bike in November and ridden it almost 5K kilometres and it is performing very well. . as mentioned by some users that they faced problem after high speed run but didn’t get any issues.Performance is very impressive, and handling is superb, it is always ready for yor command and engine is very responsive. I\’m getting milage of 43-45 kmpl, yes not high as reported by lots of users but quite good as of my driving style. It will deliver the power whenever you want but imagine it as KTM DUKE. Yes it has few drawbacks which I have exprienced so far. Gear is little hard. Headlamp not that bright as FZ. Pillion seat is not that much comfortable.
While I bought this bike, I was really happy to ride this bike after seeing the digital speedo meter, brake conditions, look of the bike, etc.I feel some tremendous uncomfortableness such as follows.Hand bar is too far and it is placed at just bottom. And the grip of the hand bar is just positioned crossed towards the bike rider(i.e., not horizontal to the bike rider).It causes pain on fingers, palms, forearms, elbow, triceps, back neck, shoulders and backside since the upper body weight is hanging on the hand bar.
Also the foot rests(gear box and break shoe) are placed at the back side a little bit. It causes for back pain. It should be moved 2 inches in front. Body’s bottom weight is hold by these foot rests.Since the height of the back seat(buttocks is placed towards upper) and the slope of the seat, the bike rider is gliding towards the petrol tank and the point is smashing with the petrol tank while braking or going on ups and downs.\n• Suspension is not fine while going on ups and downs, especially the front one.Downing/topping the gear is difficult.Ground clearance is very poor.Not able to view the objects completely by using the given side mirror.While self-starting/kick starting the bike, the sound is terrible like an old bike.Vibrations are high.While on heavy air or crossing the running heavy vehicles towards opposite, the bike gets trembling.If the back pain and arm pain persists, long drive is not possible.If any persons like old ladies or old person sit on the backside, they feel really uncomfortable because of the height of the back seat. A bike should satisfy any kind of people.
