  Cons	Weight still noticeable, especially at slow speeds Expensive ownership and maintenance Fuel tank slightly smaller than before, reducing range a bit Complex electronics can feel overwhelming Overkill for casual riders or city-only use	High price for the segment, making it less accessible than rivals Limited sales and service network, which can affect ownership experience Performance feels slightly underwhelming on highways compared to some rivals Too focused on off-road ability, which may not suit everyday urban riders Electronics-heavy setup may feel complex for riders who prefer simplicity
