Good Points

This is an all round good bike. I use my bike to travel everywhere in the UK as I don't have a car licence and it has fared very well. And the looks... even after having the bike for over a year, I can't help but stare at it. Mine is the naked version, and I love it's looks. The petrol consumption is also damn good along with the acceleration, feel and comfort.


Bad Points

The brakes and suspension could be improved a little. I've no gripes with the front brakes, however the rear ones can be a bit tempremental. I ride most of the time with my girlfriend on the back and the suspension is ok, but as it is only a mono, it can be a little uncomfortable.


General Comments

This is a fantastic all round bike. I'd recommend it to anyone! You can ride it in low revs to keep the engine quiet and not wake the neighbours but as soon as you get on the road you can open it up and it creates quite a sound. The control and feel is great and it handles well even with someone on the back. I use mine to commute and as a tourer bike (I got some fabric panniers that do the job well). When windy it can be a little choppy, but I've driven faired bikes that react badly when hit with a sidewind. This guy just stands his ground and resists everything nature can throw at it. I would not change that for anything. Top speed is around 147mph although I've only done 130. (but there was plenty left at that point!). Fuel consumption is good and I don't think I will ever sell this bike. It's brilliant.
