Pros and cons
Advantages
ABS on both brakes
ABS on the front and rear brakes can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking.
Adjustable rear preload
Nine preload settings let riders tune the rear suspension for different loads.
Slipper clutch
The slipper clutch helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
Things to consider
Weight at low speed
At 197 kg, the motorcycle takes effort to maneuver when parking or making tight turns at walking pace.
Chain final drive
The sealed chain still needs cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
