Engine and flick ability.. nothing more than that

I am writing this review after 19 months of ownership . Let me write it down step by step


Pros:


Styling: its perfectly looks like a street naked from the front and back( Only when you remove the rear plastic attached)


Engine: probably the this is the highlight of the motorcycle such a crispy engine that never lets you down I just love to twist the throttle  always, 30 to 115 at 5th gear tells you how good it is


Flick ability: you can just flick it trough city traffic with ease and the tires are there to support you


Speedo: it has a lot of usefull things for a beginner like the gearing indicator gear change indicator where you can adjust the RPM


Mileage: the best in category as I get about 52 kmpl in highway and 48 kmpl in city


Cons:


Build quality: is very poor you can notice large gaps in side panel plastics you can even put in an envelop cover inside I and the paint is of poor quality you can even notice the a small smudge marks in it


Poor plastic quality: the switches in the handle bar like the engine kill switch and the indicator switch are of platform quality sometimes its a bit difficult turn off the indicator switch just gets stuck in between


Gear Box: Clunky gear box changing gears are not at all smooth it regularly slips into neutral from 3 gear( When I am trying reduce gears) and some time in no gear where the gearing indicator just goes blank such a painfull thing when you are driving in traffic


Breaking: The back breaks are too poor lacks bite seems like they have pulled it from a bicycle for cost cutting, although the front breaks are good it is difficult while sudden breaking as you are in danger of skidding as a result of uneven breaking on front and back( Most of the Gixxer owners would have this complaint) in our country the breaks needs to be spot on as there are too many morons on road


Suspension: It is rock hard as the pillion rider would have lot of complaints you will even feel the smallest pot holes on the road not a motorcycle to have if you have a girlfriend


Ground clearance: have to be very careful when you have pillion rider trough speed breakers the side stand is the culprit here


The ride height is a bit low so tall riders will feel a little difficult to maneuver in slow traffic( Myself 6’2)


Your suggestions are always welcome, wear a helmet drive safe and do not forget to buckle up, hope my review is of help
