My riding experience and views (after 23000 kms). Review on Yamaha Crux

Solid built body, very sturdy(ideal for bad roads). Power is good(due to light weight). Acceleration is good(due to light weight). Headlight is very good. Battery is not maintenance free. Suspension is okay(could have been better). Seat is straight and long(most ideal for a family man). Gear shifting is smooth. Engine is very refined(the sound of the engine is very smooth, very different from other 100cc 4 stroke bikes). Upto 90 kmph no vibrations at all(beyond that one can feel slight vibrations). My top speed on a straight/plain highway was 95. Spoke rim wheels are old fashioned(but they are way better than "cast alloy wheels" in the case of extreme bad roads and rural roads). In city & highway, spoke rim wheels become a huge burden when the tube inside gets punctured or deflated(happened many times). The front wheel tyre(2.50 x 18) is very thin. Leads to less grip(have a tendency to skid on rainy days and on wet Tram lines of Kolkata streets). Mileage is 62 in my case(city congestion riding) and 73(if altogether on highway maintaining at 45-50kmph). Fuel meter is absent, not an issue for me(reserve fuel is 2 Ltrs= 124 kms in hand to reach the next petrol pump). Long ride(>150kms) is not an issue except the back pain(should halt for some 9-10 mins after every 50kms, good for the engine and the rider). Very much maintenance free and easy to maintain bike. Spares of this bike are cheap. It is for commuting from one place to another. Not a performance oriented or a street racer. Look is classic with chrome finishing(personally I like this look, as I am an RX enthusiast and a proud owner of Yamaha RX 135 5-speed version).
