Best for
A friendly dual-sport for trail exploring, light off-road fun and easy street commuting on mixed surfaces.
Built for
Mild, unintimidating and playful. A soft air-cooled thumper that rewards relaxed riding rather than speed, happiest on trails and around town.
Not ideal for
Not for highway touring, two-up trips, aggressive off-road racing or riders craving power; the small tank and modest engine limit range and pace.
