I have bought my victor on 2005 as gift from my grandfather my bike is 50000 kms old I have taken it for long rides also get usually a mileage of 50-60km depending on the mood I ride. As of the noise , if you want the bike to be smooth and noise free , juz ride in the range of 40-50km.
If you practise this from the start , you can maintain the smoothness to some 4-5 years. But some times I feel I should have brought karizma but when I think of mileage, TVS Victor is the one. I have gone long rides on this bike. I would definetly say that the seating and handle fitting is excellent , than other bikes. Can save you on health in your future days.
You can be comfortable if you are going in doubles also. You have a big head lamp which is really useful when u ride in high way. Max speed is 80-85 km only. Thats fine for our city rides.
Till now I did not have any major problem with this bike. Make sure u have a good mechanic as a friend so that u can get the best service. The showroom service is worse as other brands. Final Word : decent bike
