⚑ QUICK TAKE

A beautifully balanced, confidence-inspiring classic with real power β€” comfortable enough for long days, but still fun and responsive when you want it.

🀍 WHAT I LOVED

  • Perfectly balanced weight β€” never feels like it will tip or get away from you

  • Extremely nimble and easy to manoeuvre

  • Corners really well for a larger bike

  • Strong torque and great acceleration

  • Comfortable riding position and seat β€” even on long rides (750km days)

  • Versatile β€” suits commuting, touring, and weekend rides

  • Easy to personalise with practical add-ons like racks and grab rails

⚠️ WHAT FELT CHALLENGING

  • Initial concern around seat height coming from lower bikes

  • Slight adjustment period when transitioning from heavier, lower setups

PERSONAL NOTES

This bike quickly proves itself.

At first, the height felt like it might be an issue, especially coming from lower, heavier bikes β€” but after just one day of riding, that concern completely disappeared.

The balance is what really stands out. Whether riding or walking it out of the shed, it feels stable and easy to control. It doesn’t fight you β€” it works with you.

It’s also incredibly comfortable over long distances, which makes it a genuine all-rounder rather than just a weekend bike.

🧭 WHO THIS BIKE SUITS

  • Riders wanting a balanced, confidence-inspiring larger bike

  • Those looking for a mix of comfort, performance, and classic styling

  • Riders who want something capable of both daily use and long-distance touring

🚫 WHO IT MIGHT NOT SUIT

  • Riders wanting a super lightweight or minimal bike

  • Those unsure about moving up to a larger capacity bike

⭐ FINAL VERDICT

Yes β€” without hesitation.

A beautifully balanced, powerful, and comfortable bike that delivers across the board. If you’re stepping into a bigger bike and want confidence as well as performance, this is a standout choice.
