Great traction

Precise lines

Low vibration level in the saddle

Robust overall appearance

Very practical details

Low weight

Great ergonomics in the saddle

Plenty of room to move on the bike

High-quality chassis

Very powerful and rev-happy engine - will make sporty riders happy

Very great performance on steep slopes - good traction, surprisingly low tendency to wheelie

Plastics in the boot area quickly look very worn

prices are normally always a matter of opinion - in this case, however, the whole range seems good but expensive across the board

the recessed grip on the seat is too far forward

stand has to be folded out somewhat fiddly
