Quick take
"Power for days but not the fuel tank to match"
Personal notes
I rode this bike just after getting my open license as I was confident I could handle it...And I could, but I definitely did not ride it to even 65% of what it was truly capable of. The bike was surprisingly happy cruising at lower speeds if I needed to and very capable on the highway, stable, low centre of gravity and well balance. Beautiful sounding once you get rid of the cat converter and give it a tune. The fuel tank is locate dunder the seat (not in front of it) and filling all 12L up means you have to fill it often and slowly or it will spill all over the bike everytime.
What I loved
- Torque and power
- Well balanced
- Incredible styling
- Unique personality
What felt challenging
- Tiny (12L) fuel tank
- Discontinued now so parts might be harder to get
- This year model had bigger wheels so the tyre choices were sub-optimal - newer models are 17", giving you a better range
