Best for: It's built as an air-of-classic UJM-style allrounder, blending Zephyr-era styling with modern fuel injection and brakes for spirited street riding.
Built for: The DAEG Black Limited has a brawny, muscular character with a deep four-cylinder growl and a heavy, stable feel rather than flickable agility.
Not ideal for: It's not for newer riders or anyone wanting a light, nimble machine for tight technical corners or any form of off-road use.
