They're great fun, very light to steer and really encourage a more 'spirited' riding style on the twisty back roads.....you only start to notice the low power at about 110-120kph.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In many ways it would suit the sort of riding I like. I prefer exploring undulating back roads to hooning along straight A roads.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE<!--quotec-->with the small tank and limited power and protection it is not really a long distance runner<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
...but it's nice to be able to give it some gas to pass things and when you only have one bike it's better to have more of an all-rounder.
If I had more space and cash I'd have a big tourer, a sports/muscle bike and something like a
