Up to about 80 km/h they’re manageable, anything above that is like riding a jackhammer. Good for city rides, not for highways.

I put in some aftermarket handlebars and grips and it made a world of difference. But it’s much more tolerable now.

The vibrations are awful. After a year I sold mine because I couldn't stand it anymore. The new 350s are so much better.

If you don’t mind not being in a hurry, forget about quick overtakes or high speed cruising. It's just not built for that.
