Hi! Which tires do you have fitted? I noticed that she is with central stander on a piece of wood 😊. I have the same “problem” now; I had Metzeler Tourance before and was no problem to spin the rear wheel. Now I have Mitas E07 and I can’t do it without the wood because the tire is touching the ground 😊. I have only 400 km with Mitas and until now I’m happy with them. Nice rides!
The wood is just for my soft gravel driveway so the stand doesn't dig in. I don't need the wood in the garage. The rear tire is a Bridgestone Trail Wing 152, 130/80/17. It turns freely on the centre stand without the wood.
Does not feel heavy at all. Fuel is below the seat for low centre of gravity. Tires are 50/50 so not so good on the highway. For more highway riding you need more appropriate tires.
I'm looking at an identical bike right now. Do you still recommend for a beginner? Also do they all have heated grips? Last question... Is there cruise control? Oh.. one more... Fuel gauge?
Tbh it has a timeless look, it will look good even in 20 years
Yeah, mostly but the front lamp is so bad ;/
It's my mission to own one of these this year. 1st bike.
Can the headlight be replaced with something more modern looking?
Are they more expensive to maintain then a regular duel sport, say a Honda or KTM?
Hello Mark, great looking bike, how is your bike doing? I'm looking at one ,do you still recommend it ? thank you
I recommend it, but be sure to match the tires for the type of riding you are doing. The bike will do anything but the tires won't!

Does it feel heavy on travel? How is it on the freeway?
