Overall Review
It's a fantastic bike for the money. It's smart looking performs well and is easy to ride. It won't break the bank to run and above all it's tons of fun. When people ask me how much it cost they never believe me when I tell them!
Strengths
The riding upright position is very comfortable and affords good all round visibility, I've done a 78 mile ride and found the seat and riding position to be very comfy (I'm 5'11". The handling is great and the back and front disc brake work superbly.
It looks fantastic and is a real head turner. After the initial running in period the engine is smooth and nippy. I've topped it out at 70mph, but it will cruise comfortably at 60 to 65, so is great for dual carriageway work.
I just love the dual start, electric or kick. This came into its own when I accidentally drained the battery.
Weaknesses
I would have liked to have had a bigger tank, but the great fuel economy compensates for the 2 gallon (11 litre) small tank. I'm getting in between 160 tom170 miles before I hit the reserve.
The side stand self retracts when you take any weight off the bike. This can be a bit of a pain untill your get used
