Such a fabulous design along with beautiful lines to compliment it
Verdict – On the outside, this is literally the same scooter as the SR 150, which is great but it also inherits all of its cons. The uncomfortable ride, the hard seat and the lack of practicality aren’t to everyone’s taste. The people that do find this scooter appealing, to them I’d say instead of accepting all the compromises that this scooter brings forth and settling for a 125cc machine, get the SR 150 instead. At an additional Rs. 3141/-, the SR 150 brings more performance and value to this dynamic machine and justifies the absence of most practical bits with its added performance.

Is it just me or does this scooter have more than enough ground clearance?
What’s Cool
* Attractive styling makes it an attention-grabber
* Beautiful riding dynamics
* Great performance when compared to its rivals
* Solid braking ability enhances rider’s confidence
What’s Not So Cool
* Not practical with small foot board and limited under seat storage
* Stiff suspension setup coupled with a hard seat compound
* Priced very close to the Aprilia SR 150

For a price difference of a little over Rs. 3000, this scooter just doesn’t justify the cons
