  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Strong 853cc twin engine (95 hp, 92 Nm) offers smooth and usable performance Excellent touring ability with large 23-litre fuel tank and wind protection Proper off-road capability with 21-inch front wheel and long-travel suspension Premium electronics - TFT display, ride modes, traction control, ABS Plush ride quality that handles bad roads with ease	Powerful 1,099cc inline-four engine with improved quickshifter. Sporty yet comfortable ergonomics suitable for touring and aggressive riding. Modern features like cruise control, traction control and TFT display. Larger rear disc for enhanced braking performance.
  Cons	Heavy (240+ kg), especially with full fuel tank Expensive to buy and maintain Not very city-friendly due to size and height Gearbox can feel slightly notchy/stiff Not as powerful as bigger GS models	Slightly heavy at 238 kg for a sport-touring motorcycle. Limited color options may not suit all preferences. Cosmetic updates are minimal, with new graphics being the main change for 2025.
