                  The bike is great. But priced too high for indian market. Could have made more affordable IMO. Hope to see more middleweight bikes in indian market.

                  Decent Bike
                  While it's a decent bike, it doesn't stand out as the best, especially considering the variety of options available in this price range that offer superior comfort. In my opinion, some drawbacks of this bike include its weight. It's considerably heavy, which might pose challenges, especially for beginners or those transitioning from lighter bikes. Maneuvering it in city areas can be quite challenging.

                  Best Bike For Racing
                  There are a few compromises, most noticeably the shock, but overall it delivers a lovely balance of performance and handling that makes it fun. Owning an RS660 won't feel like a downward step. You have chosen to own a smaller-capacity sports bike and you can hold your head up high at any bike meet.
