Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 680 mm seat height makes it easier for shorter riders to get their feet down at a stop.
Manageable dry weight
At 137 kg dry, it is relatively easy to handle when walking the bike or maneuvering at low speed.
Things to consider
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Rear expanding brake
The rear expanding brake provides less direct braking feel than a disc brake.
Limited ground clearance
The 125 mm clearance can leave little room over uneven roads and steep driveway entrances.
