My name is Faisal Rahman Bappy and I am student. Besides study I love to ride bikes and I am holding this passion from my childhood. For completing different kind of works and better transportation I use motorcycle and I also prefer only motorcycle. Till now I have ridden few bikes like Bajaj Discover and Dayang etc. At present I am using TVS Phoenix 125cc motorcycle and I am using this one for one year. Today I am going to share my riding experiences with my bike.
You already know that I am very passionate about motorcycle so I love to ride this bike just because it is a bike. I think the design and build quality is perfect as commuter bike. Other side it has great color combination too. On the whole I would say one of the renowned Indian branded bikes; ideal as commuter, great design and dimension, price range all makes this bike perfect as 125cc motorbike.
According to me this bike is comfortable enough for travelling. After long time roaming I didn’t feel any kind of back pain yet. Talking about the seating position I would say it is just the thing, and I enjoy the riding more with pillion rather than riding single. Great combination of seating position and handle bar I think. Electrical switches are well to see and user-friendly. They give better support at night riding too which makes the electrical performance enhanced. Head lamp and indicators offers excellent light during night journeys.
Every build in thing can make the ride easier that’s why I feel very comfortable.
Now let’s talk about the controlling of my bike, in one word better. In city riding I haven’t faced any problems with the controlling. Even though I didn’t feel any kind of vibration that makes me feel I am losing control of my bike and I think little bit shaking generally happens in this segment of bike at the top speed. Riding at the top speed of my bike I have got better braking and not only that in every situation I have no complains with braking of my bike. But sometimes my bike rear tire skids during hard braking which is negative side of my bike I think. Suspension quality is undoubtedly better according to my view. Over all controlling is better of this 125cc bike.
Every single person who wants have their own bike asks a question and that is what the mileage is? Currently I am getting 50 KM/L mileage with my bike and it is well enough as 125cc bike I believe. At the starting it took large number of fuel to run but few months letter mileage started to increase and now I am satisfied. I think the mileage depends on the riders riding kills and road conditions because it is not a fixed thing.
Servicing not needed that much for my bike that’s why I didn’t pay often visits to the servicing center. But for few times I went there and I would say their after sells service work ability is poor. I didn’t imagine that they will provide this kind of service though they are well known to all. I personally think the service quality of Chinese brands is far better than TVS. Hope they will fix this problem as early as possible and will provide pleasing service to their customers.
I feel that according to the price this bike has worthy full features and quality. One thing which makes me feel special is its speed. I really got fantastic acceleration but on the other side I am disappointed with its chain set which creates trouble for me.
Finally after one year experience I would like to give my 4 out five. Because it is a machine and lacking will be found but it doesn’t make me disappointed at all and not too much happy as well. Those who want to have this bike for them I will say you can have it and it will not let you down. Especially those who are commuter lover or want have decent look bikes they can have this bike without any hesitation.
Please stay safe and ride your way safe.
Thank you all.
