The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Same 649cc engine family retuned for a genuinely mellower, low-down torque delivery suited to relaxed cruising
  • Real low 705mm seat height makes it genuinely accessible for shorter riders

Worth knowing

  • Real ownership costs (service, parts) run meaningfully higher than mainstream Indian brands
  • Lower state of tune than its 650 siblings means genuinely less outright performance for a similar price
