After owning I can confirm it gets a lot of stares and get touched by public if kept in public spaces. It's my first bike and I don't know how to handle this situation. I have to always keep an eye on her everytime I am parking it in public parking space. People specially collage going kids just sit on it an try to maneuver it.

Bajaj missed a trick by launching svartpilen 401 with spoke wheels with tube tyres (compounded by the fact that Pirelli’s scorpion STRs have been switched to Apollos, rationale given by the dealership was that RTO approval didn’t come through for STRs, a rookie mistake by Bajaj) this vitpilen deserves a 401 avatar.

I recently owned this as my first bike and I love it my friend with a classic 350 said as much he will drive the 250 he is going to hate is 350 and said it's smooth . For me it's amazing right now I keep it under 6k rpm and it's beautiful . Suspense is the thing I love . We went from Noida to Jalandhar on the bike and it was comfortable for 200km And then we got tired

Bigger and bolder indeed. 3.The Gen 2 250Duke and the Husqvarna offered a very unique experience with the BS4/6 DOHC 248.xx cc machine. Overall, a very interesting update. The Huskies are larger and the Duke’s a bit smaller!
