                  A good looking and sporty bike
                  Because of it's looks and performance and the price range. And I personally liked it's looks and performance and a bike for any youngsters and for my son who is going to college he also likes this bike. I personally don't have any major issue but I don't liked the braking performance but sitting posture is very comfortable and I liked the engine performance it's more than any other bikes in segment.. Yes, but if you are looking for a bike with good mileage and family friendly bike it's not a good option, it's for youngsters and people who are looking for a sporty looking & performance bike.this is a good bike for its price.

                  Comfort Beyond Expectations
                  I bought it mainly for mileage and engine reliability. My cousin had the same model, and it performed well for years. The price also fit right into my budget, so it made sense. Handles corners beautifully and feels stable. Rides well on all kinds of roads. I often travel 15–20 km daily and it feels light. Gear shifts are smooth and the engine doesn’t heat up fast. Mileage is close to what the showroom promised. Recommended for young riders. Perfect for office rides or city travel. Good balance between performance and fuel saving. You won’t regret buying it if you want something low-cost and dependable. Wanted mileage and smooth gear shifts.

                  This is not a bike it is demon
                  I choose this bike for the aggressive look and the best performance. when i bring this bike out all peoples are looking at mee and they though the this is not a 125 cc bike it is a 160 cc bike. i am very happy to buy this bike At first the bike performance is unbelievable it is not a bike it is a beast demon.but i dissopointed from the mileage company 70 to 70 kmpl per liter but actually it goes 40 to 50 kmpl per litter comfort is good in my point of view I think it is not for the old mane it is also make for the young boyes because Ns 125 porches is too much aggressive if a aged man ride it for long it cause bake pain, hand pain, and much more physical issues

                  Hello iam Aabid Hassan from Baramulla
                  I chose the bike because it was pocket friendly for me and full filled the criteria that i was looking for further the service stations were easily accessible for me. For the road conditions that i usually ride on its lightweight and smooth handling provided me a comfort which was better then other bikes of the segment. The ride was very good and comforting. I have been to a long ride around 200 kilometres away from my home to Sonmarg where for a long time the road was smooth but after I crossed Srinagar the road became bumpy but thanks to my bike the back pain came no where near which I had earlier experienced on my hero honda cbz. Yes absolutely. This bike is very good easily manageable in tragic which I usually ride in and if the road gets a bit off road it can carry you to your destination easily and safely. It's shockers are very good especially on the roads which are under construction.

                  Perfect for Daily Office and Home Use
                  I wanted a bike for office and home use. TVS Star City Plus looked strong and smart. My cousin has one and said it is very useful. The cost was okay for me. I also liked that it has tubeless tyres and electric start. It looked like a full value for money bike for me. That is why I picked it. So far the ride is smooth. I go to work and return daily without any issue. Even on bad roads the bike does not shake much. I like how soft the seat is. Once I rode for 3 hours without stop and it was still fine. Fuel cost is very low. I clean it weekly and it still looks new. For sure. I already told my neighbour to try this. It is great for simple use. No problem with engine. If you want a bike that gives value and comfort then this is the one. Good for city and even for small long rides. It is not too fast but very reliable. I am happy I chose this bike.
