Powerful machine

1 year ago by Pranav Shukla2,634 views

The overall buying experience was amazing, the bike itself is an awesome machine, looks absolutely stunning. Gives the best riding experience ever, seating position is quite comfortable too. Servicing from dealership is easy they're humble and really polite people. The pros of this bike is that you're buying a freaking Kawasaki, with such power. The cons is that sometimes the bike feels super heavy and uncontrollable and the mileage isn't good enough. And the rear suspension is a bit stiff and make screechy sounds after about a year.

5Cruiser with sports charter 2 months ago by Nithin
It’s an awesome powerful touring machine. Enjoying every moment. It’s a cruiser with a sports charter. Can cruise on 110-120 . Maximum I tried 170 but it can push more than that easily. Already changed the custom exhaust with moto wings. It’s super cool. Happy on each e...
It’s an awesome powerful touring machine. Enjoying every moment. It’s a cruiser with a sports charter. Can cruise on 110-120 . Maximum I tried 170 but it can push more than that easily. Already changed the custom exhaust with moto wings. It’s super cool. Happy on each element. Feel free to take a test ride & experience the ride feel. I strongly suggest those who are looking for sports with cruise bikes below 10 lakhs.

I bought this powerful machine in Feb 2022. I’ve driven around 2000 kms.
- looks: amazing, and is a great head turner. People take pictures of my bike, and sometimes girls too.
- power: this is a powerful machine that goes to 100 kms in seconds. You can drag it in any gear, won’t disappoint you.
- ground clearance: yes it’s a challenge only on speed breakers and potholes, but I guess nobody drives at speed in both cases, you usually slow down any vehicle. (changing the exhaust can solve this problem, I changed it.
- mileage: 20 kms
- weight: it’s around 250kgs if you install an engine guard. Yes it’s a heavy machine and it should be, after all, it’s a superbike. But no difficulties while driving it run smoothly.
- sound: biggest disappointment is the sound. It's very very low due to the bs6 compliance. It doesn’t justify this powerful machine. You’ll have to change the exhaust for sure, as I did.
- heating issue: not at all, though it's a 650 cc engine.
- service cost: around 7k
- should you buy it? yes for sure, it’s way better than Harley street 750 and the best in this price segment. Go for it.

5Great crossover bike from cruiser to sports adv 11 months ago by Avinash Nambiar

Bought the bike in Dec 21 and received it within 10-12 days; it looks and feels absolutely great and is a really underrated cruiser , probably because it has silent exhaust and not like other cruisers with a loud thump. But the engine makes tremendous power and the bike pulls like crazy on the road with a comfortable riding posture giving a great riding experience. Petrol tank could have been a little bigger as the 14l tank with 20kmpl average causes more refueling on long trips. I have driven 3000 km in a month and the driving pleasure is beautiful. Ground clearance is around 130mm and causes catcon to touch on certain steep speed breakers. Long rides are really comfortable with no back or shoulder stress at all . Perfect bike for those who want to shift from cruisers to sports/adventure bikes.
