Great learner bike very forgiving excellent handling. great commuter bike very economical good brakes including reAR.32BHP, NOT BAD FOR A 250cc. I kept thish bike when I upgraded to a 750 for anothee good 5 months. on one ride mostly twisties my friend couldn`t keep up with me. top speed 140 kph but easy to 120. clunk into first and you`r good to go.tank range 13litres for 300 kms. get some pirelli sport demon tyres. the best tyre for these bikes. thish bike was killed when a car driver turned in front of me $ 10000 damange! it was a very sad day.
