Well for starters this is a good performing bike for everyday city use. but it has a few major drawbacks.
1) This is probably the biggest drawback and the most dangerous one. And it's a death trap. The headlights, High and Low beams, especially the low beam is extremely weak and poor at night. The stock bulb in the headlight produces 30% lesser lumens than a standard flashlight. This is very dangerous especially on indian roads, it does not illuminate the road ahead whatsoever. It is hard to see potholes and bumps even on a pitch dark road where it should atleast illuminate 5 meters ahead of you. It's no good on well lit roads as well.
2) The engine seems to lose it's pickup and power, and the fuel efficiency goes down, after using it for about a month doing an average of 50Kms everyday. This means that you have to keep servicing it again and again.
3) The front shock absorbers aren't that good, equivalent scooters in the market have better ones.
So overall I would buy one if Honda were to rectify these small buy incredibly important issues.
