      Yes...it certainly vibrates but the acceleration is awesome. Coming from 150 cc pulsar this feels more comfortable and very exciting.

        Congrats, wise choice with a pre-owned bikes. With current prices which have gone sky high with those mandatory insurance rules.

        Just my 2 cents, whoever owned it earlier has kept it in a way that it's so illegal to ride around.
        1. Give it fresh juices like said, front tyre seems to be a goner, by the looks it wont last more than 2000-3000kms, rear seems fine.
        2. Front number plate in Italics, missing rear plates? Get them fixed, both new plates in plain font
        3. Rear view mirrors
        4. Indicators, and you are all set to hoot the bike

        Safe rides
