Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
At 729 mm, the seat makes it easier for many riders to reach the ground at stops.
Belt final drive
The belt needs no chain cleaning or adjustment.
Adjustable rear shock
Preload and rebound damping adjustments let riders tailor the rear suspension to their needs.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 294 kg, the bike can take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces and while parking.
Limited ground clearance
Its 155 mm of ground clearance leaves less room for large bumps and deep lean angles.
