Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Torque at moderate engine speed

    Peak torque at 4,750 rpm means the engine reaches its strongest pulling point without needing to be revved to very high speeds.

  • Accessible seat height

    A 790 mm seat height can make it easier for many riders to put a foot down at stops.

  • Electric starting

    The electric starter makes starting straightforward without a kick-start routine.

Things to consider

  • Substantial wet weight

    At 211 kg wet, the bike may take more effort to maneuver by hand or at very low speeds.

  • Chain final drive

    The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
