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

[@RideAboutNow]

That’s true they’re not expensive and will keep going.

Thanks for covering! Motorcycle KZbin mostly ignores this bike for some reason

@@1136tscc thanks for watching.

[@billboring3925]

@@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.👍

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.

@@Pitkk-qc3ul Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@thedragon1322]

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.

@@thedragon1322 Nice. Yea true on the weight part. Thank you for watching.

[@billboring3925]

@@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.

Full size fender/mud guard....sold.

Thanks for watching.

[@billboring3925]

@@drsous6400 the only thing I added was a radiator guard pretty important

[@laurentrun6564]

Thanks for the review ! It's a good bike but the seat is not very comfortable 😐

[@RideAboutNow]

@@laurentrun6564 yeah I found it okay but I can believe that it’s not for most.

[@billboring3925]

@@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.
