                  Bike is stylish and good Beast
                  Bike is stylish and good looking and overall good experience with this bike but price is little bit higher on this segment. Another thing is low mileage and little bit weight is some discomfort factors for new riders. I rides 5 months to this bike in all types of roads like mountain,off-road,Highway I am satisfied.
