    Iteration 1have 

    Iteration 1 have just bought this bike, Have to ride this bike at max 60 kmph till the first service which shall be after 1000 kms.The low end torque is beautiful, Down shifting ain't necessary much.The clutch is very soft, The gear shifting is smooth.Its very tempting to rev as it's very easy to go from 20 to 100 on the second gear especially during traffic signals but i am avoiding such temptations for now.The ground clearance can be an issue in places with irregular speed bumps, Which is not the case in vashi but koparkhairne the node next to vashi has some of those speed breakers.So you can assume the problems it will have all over india since vashi and koparkhairne are the better places with respect to the regular height speed heights.
