      Classic Performance with reliable power.
      Most comfortable and well maintained retro looking bike to ride. Its 500 cc engine gives it the extra power to pull ahead in traffic compared to its 350 cc counterpart. With daily usage and maintenance, it runs smoothly, making it a dependable choice for both daily commutes and highway rides. Servicing cost varies with usage and maintenance.

      Excellent bike with a majestic look. It's brand new and I'm selling it due to my financial crisis. The bike has been well-maintained and is in a condition like new. It has had a single owner and all the documents are neat. I've recently done insurance and servicing as well.
