Ride quality is superb, maybe changing the stock tyres to gain the best from this bike would be a good idea, other than, it handles knee down cornering very well and leaves you confident of its ability in no time.i would give it 5 out of 5 but the engine can be little over revving, you do need to keep it in the higher revs just to make it move around, but, this is a minor niggle.very well put together, nothing like youd expect from italian manufacturer, much more on par with japanese build quality.very well equipped the brakes are great the cockpit is laden with nice touches and a nice space under the seat for storage.
