BikeWale's Take

Good Things
- Loaded with safety electronics like TCS, ABS
- Priced quite well
- Excellent touring motorcycle
- One of the easy riding adventure bikes in the market
- The seating ergonomics is very comfortable
- Brakes have good bite
Could be better
- Misses out on spoke wheels
- Engine misses out on low-end torque
- Not a full blown adventure bike
- 313cc engine develops vibrations at high revs
- The six-speed gearbox is clunky
- Expensive to maintain
