This was my first bike. Perfect for beginners, women and small to normal size people. It can be tuned down to 25 Kw. It handles well, you can really throw it around and it doesn´t have too much power to get you in trouble. However, it´s probably one of the fastest 500 cc bikes out there and gives a good combination between touring and sportive riding with good fuel economy. It´s reliable and keeps up with a lot bigger bikes.
