Equipped with front and rear disc brakes, each measuring 200 mm (7.9 inches), the motorcycle provides reliable stopping power that's crucial for both urban environments and open roads. The seat height of 750 mm (29.5 inches) offers excellent accessibility for riders of various heights, contributing to a comfortable riding posture that promotes confidence. With a fuel capacity of 9 liters (2.38 gallons), riders can enjoy longer journeys without the constant need to refuel, making the HD200S an ideal companion for spontaneous adventures. **
