                Racing edition
                The bikes are perfect of this varient but its racing addition can also come in glossy black edition as users also want it in glossy black because it shines and gives a macho look but with the matte black it looks so shuttle and dim there is also one upgrade tvs should give in it is a 6 speed gear box

                That was a amazing bike
                That was a amazing bike as a model but in reality the initial pickup was not on that level and the top speed also not on that level. I love the safety system like abs. I was so curious about the braking system of the bike and it satisfied me . The look of the bike is so amazing in that price segment
