Sporty Ride.. numb hands!

Sporty Ride.. numb hands!

A review after owning the SR150 for couple of months. For all intents and Purposes, this one feels like a Bike than a Scooter. So, I'll address the vehicle as Bike.
Pros:
The Engine Note is sporty, unique and smooth
Stability is THE best in class so maneuvering the bike feels like handling a racing vehicle
There aren't any fancy components that can fail in the long run
Tall Stance - (can be seen as disadvantage as well) gives a better seating posture
Targeted Audience - the whole design is centric towards people who like a sporty ride and it satisfies this sect of people way and above expectation

Cons:
Tiny handles - the circumference of the handles is so small, it feels it was specifically designed for short people (contradicting with the Tall Stance of the Bike)
Stiff Suspension - One will have to wear a well padded driving glove to avoid getting numbness in your palms. A more rounded handles might have reduced this drawback.
Stand - As per intended design, there is no side stand and the center stand needs a bit of an effort to set the Bike into Parking.
No Kidding - Truly, No kidding.. not designed for Kids even as pillion rider :)
Clamp for Baggage - Pretty flimsy.. even a bag of 4-5 Kgs is making it fall out of alignment. One has got to accept the obvious, there is not enough space for a bag of 4-5 Kgs and both our legs in the foot-well.
Fuelling - They have thoughtfully designed a small well around the fuel inlet. Every time you fuel, the auto cut-off doesn't work and it fills up that well. :)

As for general observations go, if ridden passively(?) the FE is above 30Kmpl even before first service. The under seat storage is ample enough for a half-helmet or a full-jacket.
As for the final verdict, I am happy with the vehicle performance on Highways so much that I don't care about the in-city discomforts. I'd recommend this bike to all riding enthusiasts, after all.. they are the targeted customers for this targeted design.
