@@1136tscc this is a great motorcycle if you look at it by itself great for touring, but the competition has become fierce but if you’re looking for a low cost motorcycle that’s reliable and last a long time this is it and it’s not slow and keep up with just about anything it’s almost there.👍
The engine been around for over 1415 years for sure it’s probably one of the most reliable new motorcycles you can buy and they ain’t that expensive great not bad I guess either
It's an interesting bike for sure. It is a bit hefty on the side stand but once you get it moving it's very nimble in slow speed stuff and I'm the twisties. They pull like a diesel and the ride comfort is incredible. I have a 2014 and the only way I'd consider getting rid of it would be for a new model.
I bought one and after 4000 miles I can confirm that the handlebars are too low (approx. 7 cm) and the original seat is too hard for long tours :-) I'm currently trying to solve it because it's actually a good motorcycle.
DE model looks good but it doesn't handle as well as the 19 inch front wheel standard model and keeping the spokes/rims clean is more difficult and tyre choice limited. Unless you are using it for off road riding stick to the standard version.
Thanks for covering! Motorcycle RUclips mostly ignores this bike for some reason
@@1136tscc thanks for watching.

That’s true they’re not expensive and will keep going.
I will purchase one soon! 😊
Hope you enjoy it!

@@thedragon1322 Nice. Yea true on the weight part. Thank you for watching.
@@thedragon1322 that’s exactly what I did. I have an expensive BMW motorcycle and I find myself riding this way more. I love this bike.

Yeah I agree. Thanks for watching.
Full size fender/mud guard....sold.
Thanks for watching.
@@drsous6400 the only thing I added was a radiator guard pretty important
Why did you not use the Quick Shifter?
I don't remember at this stage. But I thought I did.
Thanks for the review ! It's a good bike but the seat is not very comfortable 😐
@@laurentrun6564 yeah I found it okay but I can believe that it’s not for most.
@@laurentrun6564 I put one of those little air cushions on mine. It’s a little bit wider than the seat and now it’s great. I can ride for hours.
