                  Bike proformance
                  Awesome bike proformance, excellent quality and the amazing part was pick up. I like this fully black loaded bike. The pilot seat is comfortable and at perfect height for a 5.5 foot to 6 foot guy. Coming to the price part if your budget is between 5 lakhs to 7 lakhs this will be a perfect match for your daily ride.

                  Cruising in Style: My Personal Journey
                  Having recently had the pleasure of riding the Kawasaki Eliminator, I find myself compelled to share my personal experience with this cruiser that seamlessly blends style and performance. From the moment I laid eyes on the Eliminator, its classic cruiser design with a touch of modern flair captivated my attention. The clean lines, chrome accents, and distinctive silhouette give it an undeniable presence on the road. It's a head-turner, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride every time I swung a leg over the saddle. Underneath the stylish exterior lies the heart of the Eliminator—a responsive and torquey engine that delivers a punchy performance. The 125cc engine strikes a balance between power and efficiency, making it an ideal companion for both city commutes and leisurely rides on winding roads. The nimble handling and comfortable riding position contribute to an enjoyable and confident riding experience. One of the standout features of the Eliminator is its user-friendly nature. Whether you're a seasoned rider or someone just starting in the world of cruisers, the bike's approachability is evident. The controls are intuitive, and the lightweight frame makes maneuvering through traffic or navigating tight corners a breeze. While the Eliminator may not boast the biggest engine in the cruiser market, it compensates with a fuel-efficient and reliable performance. The manageable power makes it an excellent choice for riders seeking a cruiser that strikes a balance between practicality and style. In terms of comfort, the well-padded seat and relaxed riding position make longer rides a pleasure. The Eliminator is the kind of bike that encourages you to take the scenic route, appreciating the journey as much as the destination. As with any bike, customization plays a significant role, and the Eliminator offers ample opportunities to personalize. From aftermarket exhaust systems to custom paint jobs, the bike becomes a canvas for riders to express their individuality. In conclusion, the Kawasaki Eliminator isn't just a cruiser; it's a lifestyle. It's a bike that caters to riders seeking a stylish and approachable machine without compromising on performance. My time with the Eliminator has been nothing short of delightful, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to make a statement on two wheels while enjoying a comfortable and enjoyable ride.

                  Worth it..
                  This is an excellent bike and had great fun riding. The back seat is include along with the bike. Had 1250km run including office travel and long rides and it has been fun doing both. Great comfort. The sheet metal grey gives a batmobile feel and experience. Looks damn good without the back seat, I generally carry it in my backpack.

                  Review on Shotgun 650 (best in segment)
                  The reason I buy this bike was to get a reliable bike with price range up to 5 lakh, and I wanted a comfort and a good looking bike, so rather than getting GT 650 I chose this, and honestly I didn't regret my decision. Its a bike with comfort and power. Even Super meteor is there but that is more suitable for Long ride. So for shorter and comfy ride I chose Shotgun 650. Talking about positives, Really good looking bike, you we be the centre of attraction. Royal Enfield reliable engine with one of the best performance in this segments. Gives confidence on high speed. Talking about the Negatives, its a Heavy bike, so not suitable for every person, heating issue, not a major issue as this is ha heavy bike and so this is common. Yes, a person who want a good looking bike with a satisfying mileage and comfort and suitable for city rides. Even a person who want long tours with this bike is also possible but still there are better touring bike with this price range.

                  Best bike under 5 lakh .
                  This looks very cool on road. I'm impressed by his looks, and it come with 650cc engine. It gives me extra attention on road. I also looked for re super meteor650 but I personally love this one. It's seat height, exhaust everything is amazing. It's feels very comfortable while riding. I went for long ride with this bike around 130 km from patna to my home town it felt so comfortable. However, the mileage is less It gives u around 17 - 18 per litre. I personally recommend this bike to people age above 25 because it is a strong machine with heavy weight. Even this bike is so stable but it needs power to handle. It's gives u old bullet vibe with extra features and power overloaded .
