Best bike with best handling
Best bike I ever ride. Its handling is amazing. Its comfortable for rider but not good for the ladies who seats backside. I ride it with my highest speed of 120kmph. But more importantly its brakes , we can drive too fast without any fear because of it brake. At 120kmph , handling was too good. Suspension of this bike is too good.

About bike
The bike engine was very refined and buttersmooth, the riding quality was also very good. The mileage was as expected it is giving me around 40 to 45 km per litre. The breaking was very fast stopping and good effectiveness. And we can also do touring on this bike very well. And overall the bike was very good.

I have owned many yamaha
I have owned many yamaha bikes , and all the time I am surprised by how the bike provides such a nice structure as well as maintain speed up to its name it's almost unbearable to know that people switch from sports to cruiser, I have had my accidents in my entirety of life of 35 years but it still hasn't been able to shake off my feeling for this fast and adventurous bike .
