Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
The KYB fork adjusts for preload, compression, and rebound, while the Öhlins shock adds adjustable preload, compression, and rebound damping.
Assist-and-slipper clutch
It can reduce clutch effort and help calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
ABS at both ends
ABS-equipped front and rear brakes provide braking support at both wheels.
Things to consider
Seat height
At 825 mm, the seat may make it harder for shorter riders to plant both feet securely at a stop.
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning and adjustment, unlike a shaft drive.
