If you are watching this video with intention to buy this bike, i have to share with you my own experience of owning this bike for 3 months and 6k kilometers made. It is a great commuter, looks impecable, simple and very modest on fuel consumtion. Yes the rear is a bit harsh, and for my taste the fork is too soft. It does easily 110kmh, the torque in the city is pretty impressive. On the fuel economy, it does around 350km on one tank, which is pretty impressive. It is a surprisingly stable bike on speeds above 100kmh and on harsh road. At the end, for the money, it is a lot of bike, with great design and character, which will make you smile whenever you jump on it. At least makes me smile)
