      Breaking mechanism is excellently supported by dual channel ABS. It has comfortable riding position not too aggressive. Ergonomics are ever so slightly more aggressive, making it very comfortable yet sporty for pretty much all types of situations.

      Eye catching design, it looks pretty much. Cowl styling along with the new windshield offers great wind protection. Beautiful with the LED headlight located in the middle. It is far perfectly designed to suit each day and modern lifestyle.

      Very comfortable even for large adults. Seat height is low, making it very accessible for shorter riders. Whether riding at slow speeds in the city or cruising on the highway, it manages all types of riding conditions.
