Pros and cons
Advantages
Useful ground clearance
The 255 mm ground clearance helps keep the underside clear of obstacles on uneven trails.
Electric starting
Electric start makes it easier to get going without kick-starting.
Light wet weight
At 113 kg wet, it is easier to maneuver at low speeds than a heavier motorcycle would be.
Things to consider
Tall seat
The 830 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down.
Small fuel tank
The 7-liter tank limits how much fuel you can carry before needing to refuel.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Balls of both feet likely down
You should reach on both sides, but probably not with your heels fully down.
