I have installed aftermarket aux lamps. The headlight doesn’t have a good penetration at dusk and during rain.

Adding my observations and accessories list after riding in peak traffic in Hyderabad for the last 2 months.
Observations
- Mileage: 22 kmpl (1st service not done yet) with a mix of gentle riding and spirited riding, and heavy traffic half-clutch in 1st/2nd gear.
- Pickup/Acceleration: Excellent at all sorts and in all gears.
- Stability: Excellent.
- Riding position at speeds: Comfortable.
- Riding position in heavy traffic: Little cumbersome due to the feet forward position.
- Riding through speed breakers, potholes and bumpy roads: Go slow. Rear suspension is stiff and will smack your ass.
- Ground clearance: Not an issue; don’t look at the numbers.
- Clutch: Light, no pain in left hand even in heavy traffic.
- Braking: Just perfect. Can and does stop on a dime.
- Headlight: Good-looking DRL. Not very good penetration at dusk and during rain.
- Build quality: Excellent.
- Weight: Not felt during riding; definitely felt during reversing.
- Turning radius: Larger than normal.
- Engine heat: Felt near the right ankle in sneakers, and also felt near my right thigh when stopped at traffic lights/signals that are 2-3 minutes long.
- Smiles per mile: Infinite.
