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.
