I'm not sure that so glowingly "selling" any bike is quite necessary... If it truly captivates me / makes me breathless, I should not need anyone to tell me so - I'll FEEL that automatically!
Now, can I be as elated as the writer about "nearly 30.64PS"???
I guess tbat depends on what (for example), 30.63PS feels like... ![LOL](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/LOL.png) (why do I get the idea this was not written by a highly technical individual?).
More seriously, it does indeed seem a bold move, and anything over 30bhp is looking pretty advanced vs. the RE / Honda 350's.
I had never heard of these till today when a neighbor told me she'd bought one... Curiously, I'd caught a glance of a Perak for the first time a few hours earlier, but figured it to be a modded Meteor or ???
I will never be able to convince my wife (or myself as a family-man) that a single-seater is justifiable/viable, but there are some for whom it may fit their lives perfectly... it is indeed daring as a design / market-entry / purchase, and with the outgoing RE500's and Himalayan pricing having risen to about the same level (and the top model Meteor not too far off, with much lower performance and no real exclusivity) I'd think it represents pretty okay value.
