Review
I've had it for a few months now and overall I'm really pleased with it. I grew up riding dirt bikes, and this is my first experience with a street bike. Some things I have noticed, however, is clunky shifting. It seems the transmission is a little finicky, and downshifting is a particular shortfall of the design. Seat is also pretty uncomfortable. Even with its flaws though you can't beat the engine, which is way more powerful than I had imagined. The bike handles great and is perfect for recreational riding. Long story short: the bike is extremely easy to ride, but is still capable of getting you into plenty trouble!
