Pros and cons
Advantages
Long tank range
The 23 L tank and stated 4.1 L/100 km consumption give a calculated range of about 561 km between full-tank stops.
Adjustable rear suspension
Hydraulic preload and rebound adjustment let the rider tailor the rear suspension to load and riding conditions.
Switchable ABS
ABS can be switched off when a rider wants the wheels to be able to lock, such as on loose terrain.
Things to consider
High seat
At 875 mm, the seat can make it difficult for shorter riders to place their feet firmly on the ground.
Substantial weight at low speed
The 244 kg wet weight can make parking and slow-speed maneuvering more demanding.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
