The seating posture with the foot board pushed towards the front and a seat stitched in a way to support the back and reduce the stress from the thighs makes a touring ride very much comfortable. The wide handle bars made of stainless steel are designed in a manner so that the rider can rest his arms and ride over long distances. The exhaust pipes run on either sides of the bike and they are designed in a manner such that they are away from the foot of rider and pillion. The chassis of the bike have four critical points mounted with rubber pad. This avoids the transfer of vibration from the engine and transmission assembly to the chassis finally reaching the rider.

With lesser aspect ratio the tires are thin and with a rating H they have the capability to travel at 210 km/hr without any damage.
