The first 150cc bike in India can be last when compared to others in its class. First the fuel consumption is average , about 45 kms to a litre. secondly riding comfort, it does a wiley withe heavy pilion rider. I have faced this many times and yu need to handle the bike very carefully to prevent turning over. Riding long distances is not recommended for people less than 5 feet 8 inches. It would hurt the shoulders, back and cause cramps in the legs. To avoid skidding please use the hand break as well. They produced a disk break version too, that should be safer. Body rusts over time and the steel used fo the rims needs to be replaced. its not a pleasing sound to hear when compared to others.
The bike starts shaking at high speeds. These are some personal observations after using this bike for five years.
The good points are: it doesnt give so much trouble . I havent faced any major engine related problems. The electrical system has held up in rains and cold. The fule consumption has not increased and it still gives a decent 45 km for a litre.It provides a decent ride for the pillion at average speeds . Acceleration is good , quite good. It is stable when cruising. Finally, its a city bike only.
