Easy fuel efficient lightweight but dull bike. Review on Honda Dream Yuga

Writing this review after using dream yuga for 1 year. 1 year back I was bored of heavy bikes not suitable in traffic and bad mileage. Decided to get one easy bike.

Tried testing Splendor series(especially xpro), Dream series and TVS.

During test ride, I was impressed with the ride quality of Dream Yuga - and I decided in 2 min to buy the bike. Filled in petrol worth 500rs and started driving it. One week passed, 2 weeks passed, 3, 4, it took 505 kilometres to fully consume the petrol(reserve to reserve). The ride was mostly in city traffic, 50% bumper to bumper traffic. I was thrilled after my calculation showed the mileage as 75(based on the petrol rate that time). Speed I maintained was 30 to 45 KMPH.

Had my first service after 1 month and then I decided now I will enjoy more speed; so I tried to throttle it further. But. what I found is it can't handle speeds greater than 50 properly. at 60 it seems to shiver. Although I could speed it upto 83 on highway, but that was only once and last. This bike is not meant for speed I realized. The tyres are thin, if stretched in city, there will be problems in stopping with such tyres. And there is no disk brake(dream yuga has no variant with disc brake). If you try front brake along, it does not give confidence. I could also hear uneasy sound from the suspension with front braking.

Looks are subjective. I liked it. But I liked xpro more.

The engine is refined, very smooth, at times I can slow it down to 15KMPH in 4th gear.

Quality of material is good. The bike is lightweight. Ideal for 18+ yr old students.

Horn is almost like it is mute. Lights are not good.

Overall not a single issue in 1 year.

Tubeless tyres - never got punctured(I haven't even spent a single penny on filling air during the whole year, only checked and levelled during servicing).

Switches are not the best looking but are long lasting.

I was not feeling happy when I sold it, but now will buy another Honda product.
