that it is as cheap if not cheaper to service than the Japanese four. My main gripe is the round town performance, after 12 months I still hate the bike in town, you either have to speed or go slower than anyone else to get out of the surge zone. Don't be conned

an immobiliser + the security key and a funky underseat light. Overall: Its a scooter, I bought it for commuting and knew it would be bouncy and a bit thrashy. So no suprises really.Its aso my first Japanese vehicle for 20 years so I expect it to be reliable

.The rest of the bike is identical to the old Daytona, which is still one of my favourite bikes around. The chassis is almost as good as the very best of the Japanese and to be truthful it’s only on a track and only when you are really hard
