  it is a bit low in horsepower. the chrome platings are not of high quality and rusts easily.
  
  its a bit for a cruiser. 2 exhausts pipes are really unnecessary as it adds to the poor handling of the bike. i believe the 2 exhausts are there for looks rather than performance.
  
  however maintaince is simple since its not a sports bike. no fairings to take out and all parts are easy to reach.
  
  my overall opinion is that it tries to look like a 400cc, yet is sorely lacking the torque and grunt of the class 2a cruisers. a bike to avoid if you can.

  If u dun mind riding a rusty bike and looking a bit silly... and also going at 80km/h then the bike is very cheap to maintain...and very low petrol consumption also..
