    Barely survive 

    Compare this with a surgical tool. High precision but built to do only one specific task, go fast!Ofcourse you can still peel a potato with a scalpel but you will end up cutting your hand or loose a substantial amount of potato while trying.A kitchen knife outlives most moms and wives but a scalpel will barely survive one potato.

    Ultimate beast 

    It is the ultimate beast in the segment.I love this bike because of its top speed in 5th gear only.It's the blue beauty.With 998 cc 4 cylinder 200ps bike with no super charger but it takes head to head competition with other litre segment bikes 😍.
