Best for
A lightweight air-cooled dual-sport for light trails, gravel and everyday town riding rather than serious sport or long highway trips.
Built for
Cheerful, frugal and unintimidating go-anywhere little single that thrives on back roads and dirt tracks.
Not ideal for
Not for highway commuters, speed seekers or two-up touring; 11hp and a 58mph top speed limit any high-pace or loaded riding.
