Overall very good bike with awesome features and great mileage. There's only one problem that it is too heavy to be controlled which can lead to accident if you are not much experienced the heavy bikes .when we talk about its maintenance,it will cost you you around 1k to 2k which decent often required for every bike

Great bike to own
Bang on experience just the mileage is a bit dent-full, rest it is a great bike to own, if you are looking for performance with looks, this is one of the must bike you can think of owning, the acceleration is god level and the comfort over the same is also unique, obviously cannot be a daily commute bike.
