The bike is quite grabby in first and second gear making a smooth ride difficult at low speeds. Things smooth out as the bike gets going though and speeds in excess of 130km/h are possible without too about 8% higher than the actual speed, a common complaint by many motorcycle owners. I also found that the location of the speedo meant taking my eyes off the road to have a glance.

Coming in at a meagre 145kgs dry, the bike is perfect for the beginning rider. Reversing out of my garage was easy. The bike is a breeze to manoeuvre around parking lots and traffic queues. Practising this bike as slow speed mistakes or loss of balance can be saved without dislocating a hip or dropping the bike. The low seat height of 685mm gives learners real confidence in this regard as well. As far particularly easy on this bike. The cone weave and obstacle swerve proved a bit more challenging but it’s generally well suited to the test.
