      Riding position feels comfortable enough to provide a good perch for tooling around town or attacking a a days worth of corners. Power delivery is forceful enough to sate even the most power hungry while the braking and handling are capable of controlling that output.

      It provides a reasonably comfortable riding experience. Its upright position, nicely-padded seat, and suspension setup make a contribution to a nice trip.
