Quick take
"A bike that didn’t quite click as a rider — but still delivered great memories as a pillion and showed its versatility across different terrain"
Personal notes
This is one of those bikes that just didn’t click — and that’s okay Riding it felt uncomfortable and a bit disconnected, especially with the top-heavy feel and lack of feedback through the gears. It didn’t inspire confidence as a rider That said, as a pillion, it was a completely different experience. It was comfortable, capable, and part of some really great adventures — from dirt roads to exploring new places Sometimes a bike can still be special, even if it’s not your bike
