• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Lightweight and agile - significantly lighter construction makes it easy and fun to handle Punchy and refined engine - 937cc L-twin delivers strong, usable performance Loaded with modern electronics - traction control, riding modes, quickshifter and more Balanced ride quality - sporty yet comfortable for everyday use Accessible performance - easy to ride while still being engaging for enthusiasts	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
  Cons	Expensive for the segment No adjustable suspension at this price point Engine can feel less tractable at times in certain conditions Heat management could be better in traffic Racy ergonomics may not suit long rides	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
