Pros
Owners report 50–55 km/l in Colombo-type traffic and up to about 60 km/l on calmer highways when ridden smoothly.180 mm ground clearance easily clears badly made speed bumps and village roads780 mm seat height suits most riders from about 5'3" upwards, good for city use.Owners commonly report 500–550 km per tank on long runs based on a 10-litre capacity and typical mileage figures.Strong demand keeps 3–4 year old Raiders at around 55–60% of original price in classifieds. 
Cons
On-road price edging near 8 lakhs puts it above many basic 125cc commuters, stretching tight budgets. Rear monoshock feels a bit firm on broken provincial roads, especially with a light rider. Noticeable vibrations around 90+ km/h, so not suitable for long-duration high-speed riding.Driver Insights
