After 2 years and 9,000 miles, I still love this bike. It´s perfect for squirting around town and the occasional weekend tour. I get lots of looks for it´s styling and it´s a hoot to ride. It has good torque for in town riding, while it´s moderate power keeps me legal (and safer) at freeway cruising speeds. It´s very lightweight and well balanced, so handling and maneuverability are a cinch. Brakes are strong and the modulation is very good which boosts rider confidence. It´s not a beginner bike, per say, but a great 2nd or 3rd ride for someone looking for some thrills with an Italian flair.
