                  Chose it because it’s easy to maintain and spare parts are easily available here. I liked its modern look and the mileage claim.

Feels nice to ride. Doesn’t vibrate and gives smooth pickup even with two people. Strong choice for rough city roads. Great for regular use. Easy to maintain and doesn’t burn much petrol. Nice blend of style and economy. Good choice for daily city rides. Liked its classic look and durable feel. Smooth clutch and quick start every time.
