    I bought the bike in oct 2018, bs4 non abs version, trust me there's no discomfort at all in cities and highways, i used travel around 50kms a day and also did many tours from 300 to 1500kms in single stretch. The key to ride comfortably is how you ride it. You have grip the bike with your thighs and use it to steer too (only after you getting used to this). Never ever put weight on upper body(shoulder, arms, wrists), your upper body should be free.Mileage is around 42-50kmpl in cities.and in highways i never cruised, always used to shift in redline. so i used to get 35-40kmpl

    Hi Akash, Mileage depends on many factors. First, analyse the traffic in which you ride your bike. If you live in a rural place facing mild traffic, try to maintain your revs at 3k-5k in all gears and maintain an avg speed of 60. With this formulae you'll easily end up getting a good mileage around 45-50kmpl. Whereas if you live in a city like Chennai and get locked in heavy traffic frequently your mileage will drop drastically. I use it for daily commute maintaining an average speed of 20-25km in city conditions. With heavy up and down shifts and a lot of fuel burning I get a mileage of around 37-38kmpl which actually is very good for a track designed bike in city conditions. Also, this bike has very aggressive seating position which definitely will give you a hell lot of wrist, neck and back pains. But, you'll have to sacrifice them all to own such a beautifully designed beast. The specs it provides for this pricing you are buying it for an absolute bargain.
