    Does it come with a counter balancer to kill vibration i mean in the engine , any modification in chassis to improve handling. Why too much weight 189 kg normal bullet 500 lighter at 165 kg i saw in overdrive magazine. And electra 350 is 170 kg why this weight difference . I m expecting answer from over drive team
