Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Front rebound and preload adjustment, plus remote rear preload adjustment, let riders adapt suspension settings to load and road conditions.
ABS at both wheels
ABS on the 300 mm front discs and 250 mm rear disc helps prevent wheel lock during braking.
Long tank range
The 21-liter tank and estimated fuel consumption of 5.07 L/100 km correspond to about 414 km of range.
Things to consider
Weight at low speed
At 216.1 kg wet, it can take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces or when stopped.
Tall seat
The 840 mm seat may make it difficult for shorter riders to put their feet down securely.
Chain upkeep
The chain final drive requires regular cleaning and adjustment.
