    Overall it is good. But 

    This is good looking bike.U will feel very comfortable while riding.But i am not satisfied there are major issues which services centre couldn’t fix.1.Whenever i wash it i need mechanic everytime after wash to start it.2.U can’t go in rain with this.It will stop after getting wet.You will hv to wait it till it dry.3.So forget about leh laddakh trip with this.Your maximum time will waste in regretting and trying to start it.4.Every month you hv to go for chain repair.It becomes loose.And service centre will tell you to replace with new chain set 😊😊.So you will hv to go to local mechanic.5.Meter stand will break in every 3month in the middle of driving.6.This is made for summer only.7.In winter you will start and driving but in the middle of the road it will be stopped.Great news service centre will tell you it is winter.It will happen.Think before high speed driving on highway in winter.8.
