Overall a good bike on this price
Handling is very good,it's comfortable riding position, decent power delivery,and good handling for a sporty-touring style bike actually it has a aggressive and primium look. The 210 cc engine provides enough power for most riding situations with a smooth torque curve. Some of concerns- slightly vibration is a noticeable at mid range, rearview mirror view is not good,also paint quality is not good. Suspension is a bit soft on rough road, especially on higher speed. Overall Go for it good value for money product.
