This bike is not comparable with other bikes. After using the bike i found few pros and cons.
Pros
This bike is real mileage bike with muscular looks and good pickup. I got 83 kmpl at average speed of 40 kmph in a mileage contest held by haiku honda.
It isa pure traffic cutter. As the pick up is very good till 60 kmph. I can put all the bikes back with its 9 bhp power.
Bike is very lite and handy. Handling the bike very easy.
Cons
This bike can be considered only for city limits where we require a top speed of max 70 kmph, as the bike lacks the pickup above 70. Still i have reached 100 kmph at high revs. Because of thin rear tire bike wobbles at high winds. We can loose road grip if wego on the road lanes.
Mileage drops very badly when we go on high ways at average speeds of 80 kmph. The mileage count i got on mysore highway is 50 kmpl. Engine oil needs to be changed frequently. Manual recommends for every 1000 kms. Maximum we can drag the bike till 1500. After that the bike gets more vibration.
Only Honda engine oil is suitable. I tried using castrol oil, but i didnt get good response from bike
Final conclusion
Best traffic cutter. Can be considered only for city use. Next month i will be changing rare tyre for little broad. Will update review later on the same.
