Pros and cons
Advantages
Lightweight
At 81.2 kg wet, it is easy to move around at low speeds and while parking.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch let the rider focus on steering and braking instead of shifting.
Long tank range
The 4.50-liter tank and stated fuel consumption give a calculated full-tank range of about 278 km.
Things to consider
Limited power
Its 4 hp (3 kW) output leaves little reserve for brisk acceleration.
Drum brakes
Mechanical drum brakes at both wheels make for a simple braking setup without disc brakes.
Low ground clearance
The 104 mm clearance leaves limited room over tall bumps and steep driveway transitions.
