The design shows the bike to be utterly practical with an ability to function as a naked and nimble track machine. Ina earlier testing according to media reports the bike was seen testing at a 120KPh with considerable ease. The bike has center mounted pegs as well as low seat height to handle the grunt of the 350cc engine.
Retro styling
While being a fully modern design the bike also showcases minimal touches of the retro cruiser looks with dual pod instrument cluster as well as broad fenders at the rear. The instrument cluster seems to have been taken right out of a meteor 350
Engine Specifications
