I really like the sporty feel of it, but on long highway stretches it can start to get a bit tiring. You are always working the gearbox in order to stay in the power band.

The high-revving nature makes it great for carving canyons, but it's bad when you’re fully loaded and trying to climb steep off-road sections.

It's a blast to ride! The engine character gives it a feel more like a big dirt bike than a stuffy adventure tourer. It's all about having fun.

I think it’s a bad match for adventure riding. What you want for technical terrain is low-end torque, not top-end power.
