aggressive engine

low price

high weight

4 hp less than the predecessor

not exactly effortless driving

easy handling, high stability

chassis with fine response

well-behaved engine

brakes without blame

active yet bearable seating position

infinitely long list of accessories.

Small tank (13l)
