      Overall feedback covering looks & performance

      Buying expereince was good when I bought it in 2012 from Ahmadabad, bought it full on cash payment. Riding comfort is pretty smooth & consistent-no jerks, Looks is dashing with black colour & green shades on it-quite majestic & manly feeling with mystery touch. Needs very less maintenance or servicing, keep checking mileage every 3-6 months that's it.

      Good Bike

      I am riding this bike for the last 5 years. It never makes me irritate from its riding experience, service cost, and comfort. Still, I am getting mileage around 70kmpl.

      Best Bike For Short Riders.

      Good bike for city rides and weekend-long rides within 400km rides. The suspension is nice. It is easy to handle, maintenance is low, the best bike for short riders.
