Riding performance
Well to say, she has a performance, power, torque much higher than expectation. it gives pleasure when riding on the road espically on highways. Gear shifting from 0 to 100 is awesome. thruttle noise melts the heart when it is above 100 kmph. Bike is worthy to ride and have one in a courtyard. Dream come with buying this muscle bike and riding on our detination.
