                  Bahot hi acha stylish bike hai. Kuch hi time me TVS number 1 pe ayega. Jitni tareef karu utni kam hi lagega.

Mera dil bik gaya yeh use karke, main pehle pulsar bike use kar raha tha, isko chalane ke bad main pulsar becha aur tvs khareeda.

                  VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
                  Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.
