Good Points

A great compromise of ease of use and performance. Just twist the throttle and go! This bike can easily handle freeway speeds and ride comfortably at the same time. The instrument panel includes a gas gauge, temperature gauge, average MPG and even an outside temperature gauge to name a few. It even has ABS brakes which makes stopping a breeze. The bike can easily accomodate a passenger. Plenty of room for storage too. The build quality is excellent as well - everything is solid and smooth to the touch. A great way to introduce yourself to motorcycling. You will get plenty of looks because of it's unique styling.


Bad Points

The front windshield could have been a tad higher to buffet wind and noise at higher speeds.


General Comments

I'm amazed more bike manufacturers have not offered automatic shifting on their bikes. The clutch was one of the most intimidating aspects of motorcyling and this bike completely eliminates that variable. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this bike.
