Guys,
Thank you for taking time to read my review.
To start with, my name is Mohan and I'am a proud owner of FIERO F2. I have made 2000 Kms with my bike before writing this review.
Man, honestly this is the BIKE you dream of. Let us take the parameters one after one.
Power:
There are many bikes in the market that has the same power of the F2. But what we have to consider is the way the power is delivered to the wheels and the gear ratio. The gear ratio is well spaced in F2, which gives you a amazing pick up. I bet, the pick up is certainly better than that of P150 and most of the bikes in its class. No wonder, we get 0 - 60 kph in under 6 sec which is lesser than P150. The engine note is so much tuned that you do not even realize whether the engine is in OFF or ON condition.
Stability, road grip and riding comfort:
F2 has wider back tyres than of P150. Wider tyres means greater stability at any speeds or corners and better road grip. You can take any corner more confidently than any other bike. Weight distribution is amazing. Just take a test ride and you will believe me. It handles like a dream. It comes with a optional disc brake adding to the confidence. The relaxed riding position is throughly studied and designed. Gone are the days where you get back pain and other disorders that you normally get on long rides. The seats are well designed to give you a ultimate comfort. Looks are amazing. The control switches are easily accessible adding to comfort.
The display panel is pleasing to watch. It has a centralised tacho, speedo, odo, fuel and trip meter. Of course the economy and power indicators. The head light mounted with halogen lights giving you brighter and longer light beam. Just take on the pulsar on headlights and see the superiority of the F2.
Mileage:
For the first 1000 kms, I got 50 Km/L which after 2000 kms gone up to 55 Km/L on normal city riding condition in Chennai. Chennai is the worst city in India to ride. You cannot ride on 60 for more than 500M and that too without changing gears frequently.
For anybody planning to buy a bike, F2 is the best option.
Take a test ride before you believe me.
Thanks and BYE.
Mohan.
