Well, I'm 18 and I bought this vehicle as it was cheap and gave a good average. Also heard that the parts would be cheap in case something needed to be replaced. As my earning potential is very low, I decided to go for a IInd hand bike ((4 year old; done 19,890kms)) with the above mentioned features. I got it in a very good condition and the engine was running like it was brand new. I brought it all the way from Dombivili to Bandra (Mumbai) and the ride was Very Comfortable for me as well as the pillion. The Bike felt comfortable even racing at high RPM's all the way.
It gives me an average of around 60-65kpl which is not that bad. My mechanic claims that tuning up settings will give a better average. that is still to be done. But I'm really stunned at the pickup and smoothness of the bike. I'll rate it very close to the Splendor. Yes, I'll agree that the looks dont match, but hey, for the price and parts cost, thats no problem.
I must say that is bike is not for Fiero and Yamaha lovers cos it does not have an <u>as good</u> pickup nor can it attain speeds like 100kmph. But why so much speed? Do we need it? Even if we touch such speeds, in no time, we're forced to slow down. The bikes comfortable at 75kmph, reaches 80 - 85 and MAY reach 90kmph.
So friends, if average cost effectiveness and no maintenance is what you are concerened about, the 4S Champion is the right bike cos all you need to do is to routinely service it and add engine oil as and when it turns black. All this done, I doubt it will ever give a problem
If you want power and have the money, Fiero is the right bike, but if looks Matter too, The Bajaj Pulsar is the Best. Stay away from CBZ's as you MAY regret it later.
