Hello there guys!
would like to start my review with a hi!
well i'm from sri lanka frm the city of colombo n would lika share my biking experience with you! well I have brought it a month ago and still look as gold to me, run only 600km and have to go for the service. really a vaule for the money! well before the p180, i had a CT100! well what do you know it gave me, really a waste of money heh.
i wanted to go for a much powerful bike! I got many hints form many people to go for other products such as Suzuki, yamaha and honda motor bikes cause they normally say that the bike is a beautiful apple and will most probably rot later, it has got engine problemos,less fuel economy, the black painting would fade away and bla bla bla. But all this never kept me to leave the bike there in the Showroom! I made my plan to purchase this bike no matter what comes!
so lokking at its black styling ,alloys , face , I decied to go for the bike and with most probably the advice of the active guys of this site .
since after the purchase i've notice a greate amount of things! firstly the bike Roars like a tiger to be let lose into the roads as if though its chained to a rock! its got awesome power man! too bad I have to go only at 40 kmph until the initial services! really bad, the bike within secs tries to pass the 40kmph mark!any its giving me a good petrol consumption of 40 - 44 kmpl befor the first service dont know what I wll tell later, heh.
anyway comared to the 125 cc class, taking into consideration of power ,fuel,etc ( which gives around50-55 kmpl) its better to go for a p180 or p150 cos it nearly matches the 125cc's features! and wiil be more of a worth to the money spent.
the bike is heavy and a has good controll over the roads and has a firm grip too! when u ride the bike and take corners it give a really good look to the rider in his point of view! the pillon rider too looks comfortable and sits high.
the electricals are also good! fix a set of original fiaam horns and it would sound great to move away the DUST in the road! heh!
the bad thing I notice in the bike is that I see the rear bumping alot and little noises comming from the chain side(may b after the service it'll be done) . the black painting on the Engine is my greatest worries that may come in the future, cos I saw a guy's bike which had its painting peeling off! it should be at once complaind to the dealer as soon as posible for that is the one which moves a buyer wheather to go for a p150 or p180, isnt it?
as mention by other writers I really didnt get those abdomen and hip pains! wrist pains! sholder, etc, I belive the mistake we do is the wrong posture we sit on it! i've got a very popular and a good mechanic who modifies and repairs race bike here tells me that the posture is to sit that ,ur lower stomach should come closer to the tank and ur body must b compeletly straight(as though you are not really putting the upper body weight on ur butts) and not to put ur weight on ur wrists too!, just unlock ur elbows a bit n it'll do the trick! for example see the track riders
this bike is good for well built up guys! with a good chest! and arms! above 5' 4 is up to the mark! and the ones who have got backup money always with them!! for fuel, girls, food!! you know!
however this bike is no good for very short people(thin ones). very thin is too a non match!
remember not to accell when taking a corner, wear helmets always take ur papers, plan ur journey, make sure you head is rite! have a sime and go
WWWRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
