PERFORMANCE& COMFORT:

Though the engine remains same as the version 1, it was made with a different state of tune to give an initial and mid-level performance so that the bike feels even fun to ride. The bike was heavier than 5kg compared to version 1. Because of the tuning, we cannot find the lack of power in low and mid-level. Comfort for riders is increased by giving a large seat to riders and there is a significant lack of comfort to the pillion. The shape of the seat and width of the seat made the discomfort to the Pillion.

Overall performance of the bike was not compromised but the comfort of the pillion definitely gone down.
