Good handling in the sit up seating position, great reliability(never let me down) and cheap to run.

 
 
This bike came recommended to me from people in the know. It has not disapointed.
It is a tall bike, i am 5 foot 10 and it is comfortable. If you are below around 5 foot 6 i would say this bike is too tall for you.
I commute regularly, the bike is nimble in traffic, retaining good stability and the high sitting position gives great visibility - essential for safe riding.
Top speed is around 70mph, but speed is not this bikes best asset, it is its´ handling, on or off road it is fabulous. It is light amd resonsive, acceleration fron zero to 59mph is good for a 125 and efficent too. I checked a few receipts and miles per gallon came out at around 95mpg! That is cheap commuting.
Couple this with the tried and tested Yamaha engine, this bike is a great buy.
I wouldn´t hesitate in recommending this bike to learners and more experienced commuter riders
