                  एक्सीलेंट एक बढ़िया सुझाव
                  लंबे रास्ते के लिए कम्फर्ट और कम कीमत पर इतना अच्छा विकल्प हैं २००km से १५० km रोज ही चलता हूँ, स्पीड भी अच्छी है इसे पहले हीरो की बाइक भी चलाता था शाइन, शरीर थक जाता था लेकिन अब लगता ही नहीं है कभी थकान होती है, पर इसमें थोड़े और सेफ्टी फीचर जोड़ देना चाहिए़ लोकेशन और यूएसबी ब्लूटूथ जैसे लुक तो बहुत ही अच्छा है कलर भी पांच मिल जाते है पर हरा सबसे अच्छा लगता है.

                  Hello iam Aabid Hassan from Baramulla
                  I chose the bike because it was pocket friendly for me and full filled the criteria that i was looking for further the service stations were easily accessible for me. For the road conditions that i usually ride on its lightweight and smooth handling provided me a comfort which was better then other bikes of the segment. The ride was very good and comforting. I have been to a long ride around 200 kilometres away from my home to Sonmarg where for a long time the road was smooth but after I crossed Srinagar the road became bumpy but thanks to my bike the back pain came no where near which I had earlier experienced on my hero honda cbz. Yes absolutely. This bike is very good easily manageable in tragic which I usually ride in and if the road gets a bit off road it can carry you to your destination easily and safely. It's shockers are very good especially on the roads which are under construction.

                  Ideal for Daily Use
                  I wanted a dependable city bike with low running costs. Researching online and visiting showrooms, Star City Plus stood out for its fuel efficiency and ease of handling. The final decision was easy after a short test ride. Star City Plus is simple and practical. I can easily manage traffic and city roads, and the seat is comfortable. Mileage is impressive. It’s decent on highways, not very fast. Service staff are polite and responsive. I use the Star City Plus for daily office rides. It’s very comfortable and handles city traffic smoothly. Mileage is excellent, though top speed is moderate. On highways, it feels stable. After-sales service has been prompt whenever I needed support.
