The overall the bike has
The bike provides excellent comfort overall, thanks to the impressive engineering of BMW, in which they have balanced the bike so well that you don't feel its weight on the move, the looks and the street presents may intermediate but once on the saddle it's is very friendly . The Marshall speakers offer decent bass and surprising loudness, which is particularly impressive given the condition of India's roads. The sound quality is clear, with great vocals and music. The 10.2-inch infotainment screen provides a high level of detail and clarity. However, the bike does have a few disadvantages when it comes to maneuvering in city traffic and making u-turns. Nevertheless, having a reverse gear on a bike weighing over 300kg is a great advantage, and we have. Chears to BMW for such a bike.
