- Pro and cons of gt650Its good bike only if you can handle it because of its weigth and high cc, its not beginner friendly but if you have experience with high cc and heavy bike its gonna be best bike for its price. but its still not good for day to day or city driving because of its heating and low mileage, its gonna be a problem.Read More
- Dont buy if you are underweightI choose this bike because. It gives you good features in this range and it moves smoothly on highways as compare to city but it is comfortable in city also. If you are buying this for long drives then you should buy this. Smooth on highway as compare to city its feature are far better than any other bikes and handling is so smooth if you are beginer than you should buy this one it will give you comfort while riding the bike. You should have Muscle power to control this above 20 year old person should buy this because if customer weight is not much then he can't even move it while off. Because of its heavy weight u can see some problems but i can give you the gurantee this is worth it bike i have ever seen i have more than 11 bikes but this is my favourite one.Read More
