You need best performance
Best comfort and best for family and youngster, good performance and looks, easy to ride best top end and maintenance cost is low. Parts price is cheap good for off road and best 125 cc. I ride 200 non stop and no problem. I owned this bike no engine problem in 2 years, best for collage. This bike is good nice handling and best performance and comfort. I did not start for 2 months but one self bike start easy cold start. One thing bike too heavy. Best performance compare to other bikes, but no better features and better mileage. Bike is too heavy compare to other 125 cc,if you need best mileage to other company and you need performance this is better option.

GREAT BIKE, AFFORDABLE
I have chosen this bike because of its mileage and cost, in this price range this is the best bike i could get which is useful for m daily commute from home to college and casual rides with friends on weekends on the highway. My ride experience so far on this bike. The riding position and the comfort of the pillion is also great. the mileage i am getting is so close to the claimed mileage by the company, when i go above speed of 70 the milage drops. This bike is more suitable for students who are having less budget but want a stylish bike with great features, This is great for beginners who are planning to buy a street naked bike, people who are short height are not advised to get this bike as few people might face problems.
