It’s a pain in heavy traffic, honestly. When you’re stopping and starting all the time, the sporty riding position gets uncomfortable real quick.

It handles well I find but the heat from the engine in stop and go traffic is unbearable in summer.

It has great low speed stability for crawling traffic. It's not the most comfortable for long rides in the city though, that's for sure.

It’s too much for city riding. You never really use its full potential, nor do you use the sporty ergonomics in traffic.

Forget it. After a couple hours your back and your wrists will be dead from the aggressive riding position. Stick to short rides.

I toured on mine and it was fine. The trick is to break often and pack light. Highway performance is a blast!

It’s reliable enough, but it’s not comfortable. If you are going to be riding long, I would suggest investing in a good aftermarket seat.

I wouldn't tour it. With a small fuel tank, you often have to stop, and there are no luggage options at all.

It did alright on a couple weekend trips. If you're into that, the bike gets a lot of attention at pit stops.

I've thrown on a few cosmetic mods such as LED turn signals and a tail tidy. Performance mods are limited because of warranty concerns, but it looks great.

It's a mixed bag. Sometimes the mods are easy, but other times you need a special tool or expertise. Not as straightforward as modding a KTM or Yamaha, for sure.
