Just an awesome bike I was dreaming of it.
I was dreaming of this bike since when I was not able to drive a bike and I was under age too for my license. But when I got capable for driving licence than I purchased this bike. Wow. I was shocked that this bike's comfort and braking and other things was too good. The bike just shocked me because of its performance and other things too.

Great bike to own
Bang on experience just the mileage is a bit dent-full, rest it is a great bike to own, if you are looking for performance with looks, this is one of the must bike you can think of owning, the acceleration is god level and the comfort over the same is also unique, obviously cannot be a daily commute bike.
