Quick take

"Easy manoeuvring, tame but torquey"

Personal notes

Being a naked bike it has a wide turning range so very easy to manoeuvre and control in u turns. Light enough to pick up solo with easy grab points. More hp and torque than something like a cbr300 so it teaches you skills to get you out of tight spaces. I commuted 600km a week highway riding into the city and this was comfortable enough for the hour commute and very easy to lane filter in tight spots as it is not super wide and is easy to throw around.

What I loved
  • Lightweight
  • Tight turning circle
What felt challenging
  • Being tall the stock foot pegs are uncomfortable for lengthy rides
  • All 4 stock indicators broke off from the mounting points, installed aftermarket ones.
