Hello Readers,
The bike was bought on the day it was launched(actually crossed my fingers and bought it).
The intial reaction was "Damn its small", but it's a 125CC Bike with "150 CC' features, though I can't see which ones.
I'll start off with the hedious "digital" speed-o-meter which they have supplied. The meter, most of the time malfunctions(i.e. shows "wrong" fuel indication and stuff, have already changed the cable once).
Secondly the bubble on the tank is pathetic looking. They seriously could have provided a better looking fueler cap. It feels like they've designed the bike on a sleepy night over a coffee with bored designers.
Thirdly, they should have had a disc-brake as an option! I was actually shocked and surprised when was informed that the bike had "drums" O_O
But aside from all that ranting, I am in love with the bike's performance!
They've packed a 125cc engine on a smaller frame, which in turn gives "satisfactory" pick-up, top speed, great torque(3rd gear) and great average!
Here are some statistics:
-Fuel Consumption: Varies from 60kmpl to 86 kmpl, but the average fuel consumption remains around 72-74 kmpl.
-Top Speed: 106 KMPH #
(# speed shown in the speed-o-meter, the real v-box speed ain't available)
So you can get on amazing speeds, in less time. The bike being light on weight, corners perfectly(well almost). The only problem with high speed cornering is that the stock tyres are completely rubbish.
They slip, even if there's just a little water/oil on the road.
Well, then you can buy the bike if your budget doesn't permit for a higher model, but drive it like a "non-speeding" bike.
P.S.
My Bike stats:
KMS Covered: 7900+(mostly on highways)
Air Filter: K & N racing
(little tweaks go long way!)
