Powerful engine with very sporty responsiveness
Very stable riding performance – yet the bike remains agile and a joy to ride through bends
Hand guards provide good wind protection
With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before
Well-integrated radar cruise control
A wide range of options for ergonomics adjustment
A superbly functioning and discreetly integrated emergency call system
Excellent balance under varying load conditions
Not every desired configuration is possible – in some cases, you have to select unnecessary extras as well
The suspension performs well – but it doesn’t offer truly flawless responsiveness, nor does it have a particularly wide range of adjustment
Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday conditions
For taller riders, the bike feels a little too compact for an adventure bike, particularly from the rear
The side panels are prone to scratches on rough off-road terrain and when worn with heavy-duty boots
Hand guards with integrated indicators are not suitable for off-road use
