Style Undoubtedly one of the best looking bikes on Indian roads, even after almost a decade of its launch.


Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its a 150cc bike, and rides like a 150cc bike. Not a super-sport, but pretty decent for the price tag(0 to 100kmph in about 12 seconds, top speed 135-140kmph on a straight level track).


It's been about 14 months that I've had this bike, and I have constantly got around 40 kmpl in city, and around 50 kmpl on highways.


Gearbox is smooth, although initially I faced a problem of stuck gears. The servicing guys patched that up really well.


Ride Quality& Handling This is both, the best and worst part of this bike. Superb handling in general. Feels light as a bicycle on corners. You will feel very confident in taking high speed corners. Although I feel it's not really made for the Indian roads. Does not handle potholes on roads really well. The plastic quality used on the body is bad, and you'll start getting vibrations all over the bike if you ride it on rough roads for a long time.


For long smooth highway rides, it's perfect. You can cruise at 80-100 kmph on long rides without tiring yourself or the bike. Very often I ride at 80+ kmph constantly for 30+ kms and till now I haven't had any problems.


Final Words Value for money. Buy it if you're looking for an entry level sports bike which you can take on long tours(500+ kms). Dont buy it if you are expecting a true sports bike performance, or if you have someone that'll be sitting on that excuse of a pillion rider seat very often, or if you'll be riding on rough roads all the time.


Areas of improvement The headlamps. I literally feel blind on unlit roads at night.


The battery. Dies out if the headlamps and radiator are on for about 20 minutes. Also very unreliable recharging unit.


Pillion seat. You'll need a model for a girlfriend to sit on that. And she won't be your girlfriend for long if you make her sit on that everyday
