  In the papers the bike is just awesome. But it does not satisfy me with its 'reliability' department

  It is still a troubleful bike. If you buy this bike then be ready for -

  1. You need to visit workshop very frequently.
  2. You should have to extra time to lodge complaints again and again.
  3. You should have extra time to follow the complaints.
  4. You should have enough time to diagnose the problem.
  5. You should have enough time to consult your other mechanics.
