User Review

This motorcycle is by far the most reliable motorcycle I have used in my life. I have been using it for 7 years now and still works perfectly. The weight distribution and balance is perfect. In this 7 years I just had to replace minimal hardware's like battery, spark plug, chain sprocket and clutch plates. I'm getting a decent 42 k.m. per liter. Now let's get to pro's and con's of this motorcycle.

Pro's:

1. Low maintenance cost.
2. Acceleration and power is best on this motorcyle.
3. Built quality is, born to last long.
4. braking performance is very reliable.

Con's:

1. Burns a bit more fuel then usual motorcycle.
2. After reaching 110 k.m./hour engine give a little vibration, then again that can be fixed by using better quality of engine oil.
3. Headlight brightness drops with out acceleration but still that can be managed by purchasing LED headlamps.
4. Although the weight is balanced but the motorcycle it self is pretty heavy, sometimes I left dent on the road by parking it on side stand.
5. The model I purchased had tubed tiers which is pretty hard to fix on the long rides.   

Long story short, this motorcycle is highly recommended for whom want to buy a long lasting motorcycle because I had a very hard time researching it's problems. Just because everything about this motorcycle makes me fall in love with it.
