                  TVS- RAIDER
                  I choose raider because one of my friend suggested me to buy as this bike is good nice looks and good mileage. The solo seat version of the bike is very good looking like similar to pulsar and it feels very light weight to ride this bike. The ride with the TVS raider was amazing till now, no breaking points were given by this bike, still rides the same smooth and the sound of the filter of this bike is best. The disc provided is also good, breaks tyres, engines, every thing is very good. I would like to recommend this bike to everyone other because of its looks, smooth rides, pretty good disc, nice colours, best engines, nice mileage and more than that the trust on TVS. They have been creating beats like this for very long now.

                  My experience with TVS Raider.
                  I wanted a bike with a decent mileage per litre because my work demands inter district commute. And after extensive search I found Raider. I wanted a bike that wasn't too boring for a mileage centred bike and this was my fair bet. Overall ride experience is satisfactory. Braking is bit off, that can be improved but if you're going in a decent speed, it shouldn't be a concern for you but if you're in a rush, it sure will affect you in one way or the other. But didn't have any bad experience till this day. Yeah, I'd recommend this bike but its safe, if you give it a test drive and make sure it's suited according to your needs. You should not feel bad after making the purchase in my opinion. But its a solid choice according to me.

                  Review after 1800+km
                  First of all this is my very first motorcycle. After test drive i liked the initial pull and the riding posture. so i picked this one as my friend. I also liked the motorcycle's exhaust note in stock condition. Comfort depends on how you sitting on your bike. In my opinion it gives a good comfort. Mileage also depends on your driving style. Currently after the first service I'm getting a 67-69 kmpl. Recommended speed is 55-65 km/h. Yes. If you need a daily commuter you can definitely choose this one. It gives a good comfort, decent mileage and also a some fun . You can easily cruise on a 60-69 kmph without any discomfort, above that there is vibrations.

It has a Sporty design with a refined 125CC engine which gives around 60 kmpl mileage The ride has been very practical and enjoyable. It feels like a smart daily partner light in traffic, quick when needed, and very comfortable even during longer rides. It never feels tiring. This bike feels good. I would recommend the TVS Raider because it genuinely makes everyday riding smooth. In city traffic, it feels light and easy to handle, and the pickup is good enough for quick overtakes. At the same time, it gives decent mileage, so it does not put pressure on fuel expenses. Overall, it feels like a smart and practical choice for daily use.

                  The review of unicorn
                  First i want a bike to be comfortable and reliable for long distances and unicorn delivery it definitely. Because I go to work daily and i never felt back pain or anything it's very comfortable and i really love to ride it. The ride is very good and comfortable but I hate to say that the bike has very bad heating issue from engine. In summers your legs gonna feel the heat expect that everything is totally fine and overall good. I definitely recommend the bike but I know it's a little bit pricey than others at this range but it gonna deliver every ruppee you spend. If you someone like me who lives in a village i definitely recommend you to buy this bike because it handles every pothole or speed breaks smoothly and it goes very well in muddy road also. The suspension is good and the efficiency is good not very good compared to others but it's okay. The service is also good just go for it.

                  Unicorn review
                  Its a family friendly bike gives a very good mileage and also has a decent engine and the engine is also very reliable engine I have completed 2 lakh kilometres with this bike but the engine is still fine. The design of the bike is not that great should be launched in new stylish versions like the new editions of glamour it design should be made more sportier and stylish so that it can match today's market Demands. If you want good mileage for daily short rides inside the city or intercity rides you should buy this its a good choice for a normal corporate guy for going to office everyday and also a good choice for small families.
