                  Nice bike. I like it.
                  Brand new bike. Just for long ride I bought it. But now I have no time for it. I have another bike for local use. Super comfortable. Super relaxing and super speed. Enjoy the thrill. Control is very good. On long you can get 35-37kmpl. Best bike in 350cc segment. I love this bike's performance and comfort.

                  Highly recomended for highway bike
                  Engine is refined, no vibration even driving on speed 100, suspension is stiffer side which become positive for highway rides. Good highway if your continuously riding on highway. Will get 40 plus mileage on highway if cruising on 80 speed. Handling is good. Breaking is fantastic even on high speed braking will provide enough confidence to control on it. Bigger negative is, need to shift the gear during on city rides. I would its one of bad bike if you are driving on city. Go for it if you riding on highway, will get 40 plus mileage which is an edge of this bike. Smother and refined engine will provide an next level experience on highway. DUAL Channel abs and traction work fantastic and provide too much confidence during braking.

                  Best luxury cruiser with modern vintage combo
                  I chose this bike for that vintage cruiser style. It is so stylish it is literally a head turner, from kids to elder people everyone has clicked a photo with my bike. The features and performance of the bike is beyond commendable very modern. First things first the ride height is low so even a short person can comfortably get on the bike. I commute daily 52 kms for work and I have been getting an average of 35.7km/l very affordable. The handling is so easy as the handles of the bike are low compared to other cruisers, also the bike looks big but the weight is so light. I would really recommend this bike because I have used it for more than 15000 kms in almost 2 years and I can definitely say it is the best cruiser bike. The Honda engine is the best. It is very stylish and will give you the feeling of luxury. Performance 10/10, comfort 10/10 and the pillion also has a lot of fun. Mileage also I am getting 35.7kmpl

                  Better than RE
                  Purchased after test drive, excellent performance, comfortable and pleasure on riding highways, tall gearing and big gear lever are the only issue, as a mechanical engineer this bike feels like riding a power machine. Purchased if you want great experience not to flex the friends, seems like different from common bikes.
