Pros and cons
Advantages
Useful ground clearance
The 245 mm clearance helps keep the underside away from obstacles on uneven routes.
Long-travel front suspension
The 229 mm front wheel travel helps absorb bumps and rough patches.
Electric starting
The electric starter makes getting underway easier than relying on a kick start.
Things to consider
Limited fuel carried
The 8.70 L tank leaves less fuel aboard between stops than a larger tank would.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
