@sarpanch: First, welcome to Xbhp. Second, most of those cons you listed arent really cons.
1> Thats no way to measure power. Its how fast the bike gets to those speeds that is more important. So what if top speed is just that much? This bike is made more for quick acceleration and ease over varied terrain than top speed. The gearing on the bike is probably not meant for top speed. Those knobby tires add more rolling resistance than the usual tires found on other 150s. Dirt bikes dont have the best aerodynamics. You also ran a new engine.
2> New engines heat up considerably more than run in ones.
3> You really shouldnt be doing such speeds on a new engine.
4> Maybe true, but I cant imagine how ankle can touch gearbox while braking.
5> Everyone suspected this. Will have to take your word for it. But if Brazil can take the heat, so can we, right?
So, your score: 2/5. But only because you get the benefit of the doubt on point #4.
Lets give the bike a chance, man. Im liking HeroMoto for giving us a dirt bike, no matter how diluted it is. It'll be nice to see some different machines on the road.
