TO VICTOR OR NOT. Review on TVS Victor

If you have a look at the bike, it feels a lot smaller than the other bikes in its category. Its a bit light too compared to the Freedom, Passion and Libero.as it feels.

But that doen't matter the main thing of concern in these 100-110 cc bikes is the mileage and the victors fails to give a mileage of more than 55 in the city as compared to about 65 of the hondas. OK it has got more power but that's not too much. I am a kind of guy who speeds to 70 odd in the third gear itself (with the 150s)but the victor dissappoints. Go over 50-55 in third and you know you are over doing it. Even the freedom has got the same engine configuration(109cc-8.5 bhp) but it has a better pickup.

The maintenance is manageable but the spares are a bit expensive. The noise of the engine is old fiero like. That can be understood as both come from the same stable.

Balance is fine and the brakes are good. But they lack the feel. One of the advantage of it being low and small is that you can juggle in the traffic relatively easily and the major disadvantage is that in starts waving at high speeds.

So all in all one can't expect much things from a 110cc-er but I think the freedom is a better option. The victor is recommended by me but only a bit.
