Pros	Smooth and refined 500cc twin-cylinder engine with strong mid-range performance Muscular power-cruiser design with excellent road presence and unique styling Relaxed ergonomics make it comfortable for city rides and cruising Handles corners surprisingly well for a cruiser Premium features like LED lighting, digital console, and dual-channel ABS	Has a decidedly retro look that will impress the old-school bikers Offers great road handling characteristics Priced quite attractively
Cons	Heavy (216 kg) which makes it less friendly in traffic Firm suspension setup affects comfort on bad roads Average fuel efficiency for its segment Not the most comfortable for long-distance touring compared to rivals Service network and ownership experience can be inconsistent	Available only in two colour options Could be expensive to maintain
