Pros and cons
Advantages
ABS at both ends
ABS on the Brembo dual-disc front brake and the rear disc can help prevent wheel lock during hard braking.
Adjustable suspension
The front fork has adjustable preload and compression and rebound damping, while the rear shock also allows ride-height adjustment.
Strong torque output
The 155 Nm peak at 7,500 rpm gives the four-cylinder engine substantial pulling force in the middle of its rev range.
Things to consider
High curb weight
At 269 kg, the motorcycle can take more effort to maneuver at walking speed or when parking.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Limited ground clearance
The 124 mm clearance can leave less room before the underside contacts the road over abrupt bumps or dips.
