This bike has certain unique qualities that will attract any biker.Firstly, it has got 6 gears, that is not only one of a class, but also helps one adjust the priorities. Secondly, standard tyres, instead of the popular fat ones, have actually added to its fuel efficiency, which makes sense to me. It has got the best mileage in its category.
Thirdly, its looks. This bike does not appear to be a all-plastic-made video-game toy. It not only possesses solidness but appears solid too that attracts the sight of onlookers immediately.
Finally, the engine is not only smooth, but also has a very soothing noise- at least the one I had bought.
However, it is a bit too heavy, around 150 kg, thus slightly making the rider a little more attentive on that issue during shorter rides in cities. But, that said, it helps the bike to keep stable at high speeds while covering long stretches or in highways.
Gear changing may be an issue, sometimes, but that won’t be a major hitch, anyways.
I bought this bike on 19 September, 2012. Till today, I rode only around 1850 Kms. It has had only two services and now its mileage stands around 45kmpl, which I am sure, will increase as it goes for more services.
Overall, this bike I proudly own now.. and definitely without any regret on any count!
For someone who needs a good advise for a new bike, just......Go for this!
