it's fine and a nice bike at this range
It was over all a good bike at the cost of 70000 range. Maintenance cost is very less. I think it is one of the most cost effective bike in this range. I was little unsatisfied with the pick up, but that is something which is not very important. Safety, like torque and wheel balance is excellent. Over all paisa vasool.
