Good Things

- 350cc engine has good mid-range torque
- Gets navigation system
- Comfortable for long and city rides
- Excellent seating comfort

- 250cc has good top-end power
Could be better
- Misses out on kickstart
- High seat height can be a problem for short riders

- Top-end variant is a bit expensive
- Can’t do hardcore off-road
- Misses out on full TFT display
- Front brake could have been better
