                  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 Blend of Style & Power
                  I select the Ather scooter because it's super fast. It is totally modern design, fantastic look, smart features, and friendly electric power. It promised a smooth ride and advanced technology that fit my daily commute super perfectly. The riding of the Ather 450X has been amazing, smooth acceleration, looks nice, great handling, and a silent motor. This scooter has a digital dashboard and it is best for night trips, effortless and enjoyable. Yes, I highly recommend the Ather to all. I love its new, stylish look, powerful everythink, and environmentally friendly electric scooter. Its smart features and efficient performance make it a top choice for city commuters.

                  Ideal for Daily Use
                  I wanted a dependable city bike with low running costs. Researching online and visiting showrooms, Star City Plus stood out for its fuel efficiency and ease of handling. The final decision was easy after a short test ride. Star City Plus is simple and practical. I can easily manage traffic and city roads, and the seat is comfortable. Mileage is impressive. It’s decent on highways, not very fast. Service staff are polite and responsive. I use the Star City Plus for daily office rides. It’s very comfortable and handles city traffic smoothly. Mileage is excellent, though top speed is moderate. On highways, it feels stable. After-sales service has been prompt whenever I needed support.

                  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.

                  KALA GHODA
                  I choose Honda unicorn because of refined engine. Comfortable wide seat, good suspension, good mileage. And it's reputation in market. KALA GHODA is not a just bike it's emotion. Spare parts easily available. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. For daily travelling in city is very comfortable. Suspension absorbs pithole and rough road very well. The engine is refined and vibration free in this segment. Mileage is sometime give 55 on highways. Yes I would recommend the Honda unicorn because of its engine is very reliable. Honda engines is known as long last with minimum problems. Suspension and seat is very comfortable. The best bike in this segment. Also it's low maintenance. And many more. It's KALA GHODA.

                  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.
