insanely good engine

great reponsiveness, great torque curve

Very good integration of the quickshifter including perfect shifting

Very high-quality overall impression - the bike is very reliable

Very stable riding performance in all situations

Good electronic suspension enables a very wide range of use

The bike looks authentic both as a comfortable touring machine and as an aggressive sports bike

Pleasant seating comfort

Accessible and logical operation of the electronics

Very harmonious riding performance

Hardly any vibrations and no disturbing noises - the bike presents itself very confidently

automatic mode of the suspension adapts optimally to different road conditions

The maximum payload is 198kg. For a touring motorbike, this is a little too tight

The extensive standard equipment in this price range lacks a centre stand and heated grips Integration of sat nav is cumbersome - no suitable mounting point available, standard software not a fully-fledged solution

Standard tyres seem unwieldy and spoil the great impression

Windscreen can only be adjusted with tools
