Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Preload adjustment at both ends, plus damping adjustment, lets riders tune the suspension to their load and road conditions.
Useful tank range
The calculated range of about 370 km between fuel stops supports longer rides.
Things to consider
Substantial wet weight
At 231.1 kg wet, it can take more effort to maneuver at walking pace or move while parked.
ABS is optional
Not every version has ABS, so riders need to choose an ABS-equipped model if they want that braking assistance.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
