User Review

The motorcycle is reliable. Best for cruising in the city that's where it got the name city cruiser. Fuel efficient, light, fast, and comfortable. I get more or less 50k/L. Handling this motorcycle was quite relaxing. No stress on back and is very smooth on turns. Top speed is 75-80k/h now after 10 years. Before I got top speed of 85-88k/h. In my opinion, the speed is perfect for cruising the city. Everything thing good must have some bad sides, this motorcycle have some drawbacks as well. Engine heats up very fast as the motorcycle ages and clutch plate wears off quickly but with proper maintenance the problems can be mitigated. 

In short:

Pros:

1. Fuel Efficient. (50k/L)
2. Easy to handle.
3. Reliable.

Cons:

1. Engine heats up very fast as the motorcycle ages.
2. clutch plate wears off quickly.

Last words, the motorcycle is worth the price.
