Fantastic beginners bike. I returned to motorcycling after 25 long years and did a lot of research before thumping down the dough for this beauty. It was a 2005 metallic Grey with 23k km on the clock. It was love at first sight. There wasn´t any other bike I wanted to be seen on and after a year and a half of owning it, I´m still patting myself on my back for making the right decision. You want to enjoy and live too, so have self control and drive within your limits and this bike can be enjoyed for as long as one wants. always wear a helmet and protective gear.
