It was stylish and out of ordinary from the regular bikes in this segment. They initially offered the same mileage and good customer service even though it was a bit more expensive but I was willing to pay for the exclusivity. It has been good and bad experience. Good because it was my first bike and bad because it made me hate riding. It is not comfortable for long rides more then 200km and it gives terrible mileage after a few months and the heat from the engine in summers is unbearable. I would only suggest this bike if you already have another bike and want to use this as an occasional rider but to someone who wants to use this for their daily commute, I will suggest to look for another daily commuting bike.
