The bike features a substantial fuel tank with a capacity of 29 liters, ensuring you can cover great distances without frequent stops. With a seat height of 790mm and a weight of 287kg, it strikes a balance between stability and agility, while the electric starter adds convenience for easy getaways. The double disc front brakes and single disc rear brakes offer reliable stopping power, reinforcing the bike's touring capabilities. **

Pros

  • Powerful V4 Engine: Delivers strong performance and smooth power delivery, ideal for both city commuting and highway cruising.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: Ergonomically designed for long-distance travel, providing rider comfort over extended journeys.
  • Advanced Features: Includes PGM-FI fuel injection and adjustable suspension, enhancing ride quality and adaptability to different road conditions.

Cons

  • Weight Consideration: At 287 kg, it might feel heavy for some riders, especially during low-speed maneuvers or in urban settings.
