I bought this bike (second hand) in 2010 and used till 2013. Through that period I had many fun tours on my XCD 125. When I bought it, it had gone somewhat more than 48, 000km.
I traveled about 18, 000 km on this bike.
First I'll tell the good things I found about this bike.
Acceleration was excellent.
Kilo meters per 01 liter was between 55-65 at the speed levels from 40-50kmph.
Less weight (very easy to control).
Good Quality paint and Graphics.
Riding control is good. Able to lean bike easily.
Able to ride about 300km daily for 7 consecutive days without much trouble.
And now the faults I experienced with this bike.
Silencer started to give a big noise as the parts inside it was broken.(I fixed it by a welder)
Poor shock absorbers.(Main stand hitting ground when riding with a pillion and bike rides through small bumps on road-this is irritating).
Poor head light.(When comparing with TVS Flame 125 my current bike).
Some time self start motor get bind. Then I have to get down and remove the power from battery to protect the Start motor and battery.(It was a huge trouble. reason to this fault was a circuit unit)
Seat was not comfortable.
I have rode under Heavy rains with this bike & on very hot conditions too. But it never failed me on road. That`s why I still love this bike. I rode 07 days tour from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. around Sri-Lanka about 2500 km. Only big problem I had to face was, one plug was burn after riding over 60 kmph speed for 1.5hours. So, Finally what I have to say is this bike is good for daily normal riding. Not for racing:-)
Happy and safe riding to all.
Thanks for reading.
(Hope my review helped you to make a picture about this bike.)
