⚑ QUICK TAKE

A sharp, responsive supersport that feels effortless once you adjust β€” rewarding, classy, and the kind of bike you grow attached to.

🀍 WHAT I LOVED

  • Extremely responsive β€” just shifting body weight flows it through corners

  • Feels much easier and more precise compared to upright bikes

  • Beautiful, classy styling

  • Feels like a true β€œforever bike”

⚠️ WHAT FELT CHALLENGING

  • Aggressive riding position β€” more weight over the handlebars

  • Took time to adjust from a more upright riding style

  • Slightly higher seat felt awkward at first

PERSONAL NOTES

Coming from a more upright bike like the Ninja 650, this felt like a completely different experience.

At first, the riding position was intimidating β€” being more forward over the bars and higher off the ground took some getting used to. But once it clicked, it became incredibly natural and actually made riding feel easier and more controlled.

The way it handles through corners is a standout β€” it responds to body movement rather than needing to be pushed.

It’s the kind of bike that grows on you quickly and ends up feeling like something you don’t want to let go of.

🧭 WHO THIS BIKE SUITS

  • Experienced riders wanting a precise, responsive supersport

  • Riders who enjoy cornering and a more connected riding feel

  • Anyone wanting a stylish, performance-focused bike

🚫 WHO IT MIGHT NOT SUIT

  • Beginners or riders still building confidence

  • Riders who prefer an upright, relaxed riding position

  • Shorter riders uncomfortable with a higher seat and one-footing

⭐ FINAL VERDICT

Yes β€” if you’re ready for the riding position.

A rewarding, sharp-handling bike that feels incredible once you adapt. Not the most forgiving at first, but once it clicks, it’s hard to want anything else.
