                  Thik thik hai gadi achi bhi bhi nahi hai aur buri bhi nahi Gadi ki siting comfortable nahi hai aur gadi agar koi bali gadi ko overtake karne jati hai tab control se bahar ho jati hai hava ke karan baki value for money hai gadi best milege aur features acche Hain Lena chahiye magar jyada load uthane ne ke liye ya long drive ke liye nahi iska upyog sirf mileage ke liye karna chahie

                  Good bike for who looking for mileage
                  Best bike for highway usage it can give 130 km/kg but on local roads 90-95km/kg best for who looking for mileage but interms of performance it cannot give the performance of normal 125 cc bike also it is the heaviest and tallest bike in 125 cc so if you are above 5.5 feet can use it comfortably iam giving 9/10

                  The bike is best in 125cc segment.
                  The bike is best in the segment, I am using it from last 3years no complaines what so ever. The breaking can be improved. There are no vibrations even at 90kmph. Best for everyday commute and runs on budget along with the optimum flue consumption and low maintenance. Over all with the brand value and the trust Honda has established is remarkable and significant.
