Its been abt 3 months n 2300 kms wid this bike.I get 68-73 on road mileage in banglore city. And highway I got abt 82...
I am happy with the bike. The only problem is wen ur ridin wid a pillion rider. It gets bit tough to ride if the person behind u is more than 65-70kgs
I m 70kgs already.. So I advice that only slim people buy this super bike. It has this autochoke tht is really helpful in winter. And the bike runs better after servicing. Just if it had some more power, it wud be a much bought bike., Tht is the only thing lacking in this bike.....powerful pick-up.
Rest, for a person like me in the city of bangalore, the bike is perfect. Even in the off peak times I cant cross 50-60km.hr in the city area of bangalore.... So this bike is good for such conditions....highway I travelled oonce.....abt 310 kms in a day.
The bike was good, mileage was gr888 but the comfort level wasnt much after 250 kms... As the bike isnt very tall..ur back wont be straight if ur more than 5.10 height. But long distances, I give this bike 8/10 for its mileage and speed.. We were 2 guys n my speed was 65-85 most times......so this bike is steady...But yaa..u need to remember the petrol cos even in reserve the fuel indicator may show sometimes 2 bars..n sudenly 0 bars...so I wud suggest tht in reserve, the bike may go 100 kms for sure...but its better u filll fuel after 75-80 kms after it goes into reserve.
Night riding is also good as the headlamps r nice n useful n powerful. The electric start is gr88....reliable....kisc is also smooth..morning I start wid a kick....then all day I use electric start.. Brakes....well the rear brake should have been better, but they r good if we travel below 60.... After 60+, I guess u better be alert....cos the brakes may not help u stop suddenly.!!! I wud suggest u all to buy the engine guard too, as the bike is short on height..And yaa..there is a feature of ride control.....its nothing but a button tht will make ur accelerator bit tight..so tht u dont raise it quickly.....its funny, cos even then we can go beyond 75-80km/hr...hehe...
