      Good bike but not that reliable and it's very difficult to get spare parts, don't expect the service to be budget friendly.

      I ride this bike since last November 2020.Changed clutch plates twice.It’s heavy on maintenance and you will need to have patience to wait for spare parts.

      It's attractive, has a nice pickup, and is vibration-free. Stylish and so well. If you want to stand out, go. Everyone will give you a second glance.
