Driving it since 2006 done 1,47300kms

One of the best bike from Bajaj motors till date. I bought it for 40500inr and trust me it's worth every penny of it.
1, look wise it's good compared to other competitors in the same price range, only feature I missed was self start.
2,mileage is best in class, I was getting around 83-85kmpl in city and 90-95 in highway, if speed maintained at 45-50kms.
3,maintenence is also very less compared to other bikes I spent around 600inr every 5000kms till 75000kms, later I was spending around 900inr every 5000kms(even once I had done around 9k kms without service or oil top up)
4,it is the best choice if you commute more inside a city like Chennai. Long drive is also quite comfortable with this bike I had done around 175kms at a stretch with a single halt for a few minutes.
5,quality of the bike parts is also much better in this price range as I had not changed any of the major spares on the whole, clutch plate, gear box, piston etc. Everything works fine even at 147000kms(chain sporket changed once) and as usual brake shoes and all cables changed according to the time interval.
6,no starting problem in the morning and not even a single break down in more than a decade of usage.only problem I faced was oil spillage from the connecting tubes that too was rectified on my second service so there after no issues faced.
Tips:
When you start from 0 accelerate it gradually so that your speed increases gradually without any engine wear and tear and follow the same while braking also. This is a commuter bike not a sport bike or a race bike keep that in mind.
2,choose a proper service interval at first whether it's 4000 or 5000kms and then keep up your service interval regularly this will give you a longer engine life.
