I had one of these for a year, and did 12000km on it (from new). Excellent bike, but a little too powerful for a complete newbie like I was but a few weeks experience would be fine. Reliable and fuel efficient, and good (not great) handling. Only issue was misfiring after 2 hours in torrential rain and a long descent - that was it. Came good after it came back up to temp after the descent. Did a couple of track days and it copes well. Put some bar end mirrors on it, the optional cool seat, and a brighter headlight globes, and you have a nice cool bike
Do you know if this Learner version can be Unrestricted easily? I can get one cheap but i have a Full open bike license so i can legally ride an unrestricted version of it.
This day-and-age if you're caught riding fast (Hooning) you can say goodbye to your bike. If you want to race around go to a Track-day and you get to keep your bike to enjoy. You have been warned.
One of the most informative videos out. Great work and thanks for sharing!
Thanks, mate
Best review on this bike that I have found.

Mark G Huh?
Any word on an S model?
None yet, but would not be surprised to see one next year as a means of freshening up the range. Guy
