Hero Xpulse 200T price in Mandya

Buying experience was as usual challenging with availability of black color was very scarce across bangalore. One dealer who had it tried even selling one on display too. Had to compromise and settle down for a red/black one.
Riding experience has been mixed on feelings as after first service the bike stops revving in running condition at 1 or 2 gear lot of times. The gear indicator doesn`t show 70% of the times and i feel its an utter waste of it being there holding space in the tiny display unit.
Looks are great as it gives a different level of design as compared to the popular sibling xpulse 200 4v. The horn is a blunt and bad (awaiting to change it in next service)
Servicing & maintenance - have to go through second service and update as the first one wasn`t impressive even after clocking almost 1.5k.
Mileage when ridden within 50+ kms can clearly clock 40+km/ litre. I feel the bike has 1st gear as shortfall (6 speed gear box would have been great) as crossing 100 km/h is a very tedious process. Both foot pegs and upper side of tank (where thighs rest) vibrates heavily after crossing 85+km /h.
Bike also gets heated up heavily but considering its open air intake is pretty decent... Mirrors are a pain in the butts as the aligning in bad and the design inspired from ktm`s are shabby and pain reaps off when tried to align and doesn`t give clear and wide angle view...
Tank pads should have been incorporated as the tank design runs deep and scratching upper and sides while riding can happen very easily... Have been trying to install the original windshield and suspension socks (rubber) haven`t had the liberty to see them available even at OEM's manufacturers or at hero exclusive showrooms/service centers.
Thank you for reading...

From the next day of delivery in mar2021, I started facing starting problem, both self and kick start. Upto date, I faced such problems 7-8times. Gave to showroom for repairing 3-4 times. Still I am facing same problem. Once, it stopped in middle of road and I was helpless, I had to wait long to start it. I suppose this bike is having some manufacturing defect.
