Powerful Touring Performance

I felt strong touring performance from its 1099cc engine and smooth quick-shifter gearbox. It gives around 17.8 kmpl mileage and comes equipped with 19 L of fuel tank capacity. The bike comes with traction control, cruise control, and TFT display. Wide radial tyres and alloy wheels offer excellent highway grip.
