I have been riding honda twister for almost 2 years/11000kms. for a 100cc rider, it might be one of the best, if not the best bike because of added style, tubeless tyres and disc brakes for safety. but if you are even a slightest bit of enthusiast, I don't suggest 100cc category, not only twister.
coming down to twister, few of my experience I would like to share
fuel economy= 44kmpl( at max reached 48 for few months)
handling= pretty good. light on handles and moves pretty decently. easy on traffics
comfort= not impressive. shocks are pretty hard and shakes pretty much. seats are even harder and the width is small. I can't keep riding more than 30 mins in one stretch. posture is pretty straight so no complaints on backaches.
looks= not seen any 100 cc bike as this stylish. side fairings and headlamps are pretty cool. if youngsters looking for small bikes but stylish one, I think this is the best bike. but the finishing looks poor. there are gaps between two plates. and if you are over 5ft7inches, you should consider other bikes. even though this bike looks tall, you might look bigger on this, a mismatch that people might be talking when you're gone.
performance= considering this a 109 cc bike, the performance is pretty decent specially if you are a rider for 30-50kmph, without a need for frequent overtakes. but then again, if you are even a bit of an enthusiast, don't go for 100cc bike. acceleration is good. but my particular bike has a bit of slow 2nd gear acceleration.
other features= added disk brake has saved me on many occasions. and tubeless tires have been an icing on a cake. haven't gone for sealing a puncture since I bought this bike. just to pluck those nails out.
verdict- if you are a 100cc category fan, this is the best bike. but if you want fun while riding, go for atleast 125cc bikes.
