I was waiting for my vehicle to cross 1000 km as I could push it only after that.I like the looks and straightline stability of the vehicle.On good roads the brakes are very effective without being threatening.This bike is a pleasure to ride in 40-70 kmph range with good pick up, breezy overtaking and good manouverability.But beyond 70 there is a definite vibration and it dosent feel that safe anymore.I could get a max speed of 105 kmph.
The shock abs are above average.But come gravelly or wet roads and the vehicle starts fishtailing even if you brake at 20 kmph-may be its the notorious srichakra tyres.Also the engine seems to knock a lot at the lower speed limits of each gear.
The initial pick up is somewhat low(0-30 kmph).This is not the vehicle if you wanna race ahead of your competitors at traffic lights when red turns to green.At steady speed smooth cruise on a highway I got a mileage of 62 kmpl but it came down to around 50 kmpl in city traffic.
Also there is a lot of gear changing in heavy traffic but since the gears are so smooth, you dont feel the effort.
