      My first love 😘
      First of all - Looks , OMG it looks pretty good i felt love for this thing, riding this machine is my first time on a adventure trip to leh Ladakh, it felt like smooth buttery ride , with the amazing power on demand the engine revs very fast , some times it feels jerky during gear shifts. But considering that might be a issue on my unit , Overall it's an fantastic package 😁 do get an hands on experience of minimum 100km and you will fell the words ... Rest assured performance is top notch 👍🏻 😉💯
