Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Preload and compression/rebound damping adjustments at both ends let riders tune the suspension to suit their preferences and conditions.
ABS braking
ABS on the front and rear brakes can help prevent wheel lock during hard braking.
Strong acceleration
The 3.4-second 0–100 km/h time makes rapid acceleration a clear strength.
Things to consider
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Substantial weight at a standstill
At 212 kg wet, moving the bike around by hand or maneuvering it at walking pace takes effort.
