BikeWale's Take

Good Things
- Gets a refined engine
- The six-speed gearbox is slick
- Quite cheap to maintain
- Sporty design lines bound to draw attention
- Good handling attributes
- Commuter-like riding stance benefits in daily riding
Could be better
- Quite pricey for a Bajaj
- The ride quality is too stiff
- Overall fit and finish doesn't justify the price
- Vibration at higher speeds
- Tail section exactly same as the naked sibling
