                  The bike of my dreams
                  I had bought my bike back in Jan 2017, and till now whenever I ride it feels like new, this bike has low cost maintainance for a normal service it costs around 1200-1500, and the mileage is awesome, I got a mileage of 48-50, and in long range ride once I got a mileage of 58, this bike is decent for daily use, because nowadays many big fats bike are here but still my beast doesn't feel old or less stylish, plus it is pocket friendly, I would suggest this is the best bike for a normal person.

                  ​Power on a Budget
                  At the heart of the 220F is its 220cc oil-cooled engine, delivering approximately 20.4 PS and 18.55 Nm of torque. Owners consistently praise its mid-range grunt, which makes highway cruising effortless. While it lacks the high-tech refinement of newer liquid-cooled rivals, its linear power delivery is predictable and satisfying for both beginners and experienced tourers.
