    Good Experience

    This bike boasts impressive mid-range power, although there is room for improvement in the braking department. It delivers an amazingly comfortable riding experience with good ride quality, and its aesthetic appeal is truly awesome.Read More

    Delightful experience to the rider.

    It is fun to ride due to comfortable riding posture and its tremendous power just pulls me and its a treat to sit in it and ride but while you ride the wind blasts attack your mirrors and you will not be able to use the mirrors properly, the chain makes sound often, as it is 500cc it just drinks too much of it, the knots around the exhaust cover loosens and sometimes fall down due to vibration well I haven't gave it a full-throttle but its decent speed and its attractive color gives the rider a good road impression. Orange is the color that gives everyone a delightful experience not only to the riders but also to the viewer. Well, it doesn't provide a backrest so you have to attach it if you want to carry a pillion because the pull you get is tremendous and the pillion might get scared that is why it's better to fix a backrest.Read More
