 kevin axisa's recommendation | |
Great torque. pulls like a train.
Suspension is just adequate.
Handlebars a little too close to fuel tank.
Overall this is a pretty solid bike. There are a few downsides to it though...
The front tends to bottom out easily due to poor stock suspension and its a challenge to find the 'sweet spot' on the rear spring preload settings. Also, you cannot place your fingers between handlebars and fuel tank on full lock.
Bad points aside, this bike is a lot of fun to ride on local and road trips. A definite keeper.
