Do remember to give your bike the proper care

5 years ago by Chandra Kant Mishra4,278 views

The looks of the bike is sleek and it can cut through traffic like a hot knife through butter despite being a faired bike.Riding experience: its my fourth bike. Earlier i had (1) kinetic boss; (2) bajaj discover; (3) yamaha ss 125. Suzuki hayate is my fourth bike. Having got experienced with my previous bikes, i find suzuki hayate quite light-weight, user friendly, friction less and smooth in riding. Since its 113 cc bike, riding on mountain hills with a pillion rider may not be quite attractive, but for a single person, its perfect. Seat is quite comfortable. The handle position is extremely comfortable in riding. Change of gears is purely smooth with literally no friction at all. You can ride at a speed of 20 kmph in 4th gear, and still you won't feel it.

Finally, i may say 8/10 in riding experience.

Details about looks, performance etc.: it offers three colors at present. I took silver oost, which is naturally catchy. Right now, i don't know how my bike will look after few years, but presently its quite attractive in appearance and looks. Front as well as rear side appearance is superb. I am more than happy that this bike is stand alone compared to all other 110 cc segment bikes. And probably, this is only the bike with tubeless tires in so reasonable price.

Finally, i will give 8/10 in this category.

Servicing and maintenance: i won't comment right now in this category, as i am yet to finish some long rides and get it serviced. But as any other new bike, it appears maintenance free.

I reserve my marks for post-service period.

Pros and cons:

Advantages: if you are planning to own a 110 cc segment bike with brilliant looks and want to keep the bike for your own usage for 6+ years, this is the most suitable bike. I don't see any problems in riding, handling or maintenance. Price is also a positive part. It comes with 2 years warranty with an option for +3 years extended warranty. Like any other model, the extended warranty appears attractive, but most of the expensive parts are not covered in this warranty, still its worth taking, as the price of extended warranty is just rs. 700/- or so for 3 years. Positives are look, comfort in riding and friction less engine with smooth gears.

Disadvantages: suzuki is yet to prove its credentials in 110 and 125 cc bikes. Its unable to give a strong competition to famous companies like yamaha, hero or honda. The servicing centers are also not as wide as other companies. The spare parts may also not be available at ease (unless you are in contact with a very good service center). A compatible seat cover, tank cover and other accessories are not easily available. Still, there are less negatives as compared to its positives. Even though, the company claims a mileage of about 75 kmpl or so, but it may not give a running mileage of more than 60 kmpl in city roads.

I bought the bike for 66500 only and till now the riding experience is very smooth and good. It looks good in this range it's awesome and slim and the handling of the bike is good compared to other bikes in this range. Servicing and maintenance of bikes are too low you can only spend 1000 for servicing is too much.
Pros-
1. Low maintenance
2. Good mileage and good speed
3. Proper seat and comfortable to ride.
Cons-
1. Speedometer can be digital like sp
2. One more gear is required like a sp.

The worst bike, the engine suddenly stopped. Repaired many times but again and again, the problem is coming. Total money wasted. No response when complained to customer care. Please, don't buy this bike and face trouble. Two to three managers call and ask the complaint but they didn't take any action. Started giving trouble in 8 months itself. Not even completed 1 year.

I brought this bike on December 30 2020 in ghr honda showroom at kodad.
I used this bike for 2 years.
It was newly launched at the time.
I didn't take anyone's suggestion and went and took this bike.
Everything was okay for 1 year but I was facing many problems (like the battery being down, the front doom lights not working, and clutch problems like that) major problem with this bike was the engine was a very bad performance.
Oil leakage from engine.
I have had a bad experience with this bike no one chooses this bike I tell you of my personal experience.
And also don't buy bikes in ghr honda showroom. No one responds to customers and service is very bad.
