Hi all,
I am one of die-hard follower of Honda Products, I bought this Bike 6 months ago, after lots of comparisons and reviews, I was all set to buy the bike, because it follows few unicorn standards and Honda engine.
Here I say the bike is worth only 75k or less money, since electrical switches are made with cheap plastic similar to dream yuga and 110cc bikes.Not an issue of missing engine kill switch, but handle bars are made with hollow pipes ends with plastic cap,
Let me brief you about my experience, you decide whether to buy or not.
Drawbacks:
ENGINE VIBRATION:- Bike tank and seat vibrates on above 55km or >4.5k rpm, you can take the bike to honda service point, but they will say its normal in all bikes.(when you keep your tank full, little ok), I am completed 5 service, but still engine vibration makes me grrrrr while riding. planning to resale .!
GEAR SLIPPING:- Gear slips from 4 th to 3 rd, it repeats twice in a ride, if you apply brake suddenly and tries to shift the gear, it stucks. now what? you need to release the clutch and engage again, then it works.!
POOR HANDLE & SUSPENSION: Handle bar slightly jumps even in smooths roads its feels like you are traveling on a horse, you can set tyre pressure lesser than 25, but it jumps, might be DUE TO cheap mono suspension and front fork . If you are riding at 90+ speed and applies brake suddenly, handle bar bends / moves or tilt from normal position, then you have to take the bike to service point, they will set to normal.
So there is chance of you can feel spinal cord/back pain and little pain .:(
- Exhaust pipe paint fades very quickly at foot rest point, if you avoid placing your foot then ok. proper painting is necessary.
ADVANTAGES:
GOOD MILEAGE: Gives 55Km/ltr at city rides. I use Bharat petrol only.
GOOD PICK UP: Beats Fz and pulsar 150 pick up at each signals, nice riding experience.
GOOD CONTROL: Its is superb to control at every bends and between bikes, even at low speeds.
BETTER LIGHTING: Compare to unicorn, trigger head light and tail light are very clear and more powerful.
SO Overall the bike is Ok(3 out of 5)for normal daily commuters, but cost of buying is too much, even pulsar 150 and unicorn are lesser than this.
My suggest if you want Bike for Good riding - then go for Yamaha Fz( 80K series)
If you want Bike for Good milege and comfort - then go for Unicorn.
Those who ride bike for less than 20Kms per day, then trigger is ok, for daily commuters like 30 - 50 kms per day, this bike makes you feel unhappy.
Hope my feedback is helpful for others. This is based on my personal riding experience, may some other feels trigger is worth for money. Choice is yours .!:)
Hope honda will rectify the drawbacks in Honda trigger and brings TRIGGER is best bike in 150cc segment.
All the best!
