To be very honest, if you are really into modding, I honestly think you are better off saving your money for a higher end bike. Extensive mods can run up the cost of a bike easily to the extent the bike is worthless.

It’s actually better for highway use than some bigger bikes. It’s not heavy or cumbersome, it’s less tiring on long rides. It’s just a slower paced thing; you have to be okay with that.

It's perfect city riding for me. It has enough power to zip away from lights, not so much power that it’s difficult to control in tight quarters.

Ok, let’s be real, most of these so called “streetfighters” these days are just naked bikes with attitude. That's exactly the kind of phone the K300 SF is. With the look and enough performance to be fun without being intimidating, it's a winner.

The switchgear and controls are a bit flimsy compared to my friend’s Yamaha. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s something you notice if you’re coming from Japanese bikes.
