                  beauty with power
                  because of it looks and power, i once took it to mountains and it was riding smoothly at uphill, so i want to tell who are looking for a powerful bike to travel to hilly area like Leh, shimla or Kullu then go for it without thinking much positive and smooth, every one compliments me becuase of it looks specially the dark blue colour and even every one of my friend ask me to took them for a ride and they also compliment about its sound and power. yes if you want free compliments yes if you want power with asthetic looks it will catch everyones eyes when you ride it in trafiic then everyone will look at you and its power is amazing wow and its belt driven system made it more smoother

                  Experience
                  Amazing experience ofc its heavy and not for every type of road in Indian conditions. But it's an experience of its own to drive as the engine is so powerful and it's sounds loud and clear. It's design is cool as well but the best thing is the brand itself as they ensure safety and luxury at the same time. . .
