I like this bike very much, own GEN-I model, since summers 05. Regularly serviced, it runs neat, clean & issue less. Recent fuel economy read ~ 58.7 kmpl
Average riding speed 70~80kmph. It got tough frame. I recently met an accident, running dog rammed into my bike. I was @ approx 70, dog hit her head-on @ front axle.
I got separated (thank GOD), and the bike went air-borne. Bike took 2 *paltis *in the air, as ppl told me, and landed on its visor. All that was broken was, the steering-lock assembly!! Even the Indicators were intact! Beautifully engineered masterpiece! Honda service is getting crowded these days, hence, quality is gone a lil low.
Also, the expensive spares is only a hype!! Almost nil recurring expenses, this bike rox!! Bajaj, on the other hand, got major quality issues. Pal got a pulsar, whoz handle bar is not tight, the casting-hole dia-mismatch! The service ppl are shelling cash 4m him all over again..
