“Great value all rounder that can do everything, Not the fastest, not the lightest, not the best handling bike out there but it does all of these things well enough to be a joy to ride.
The engine although not overly powerful is a torque monster making riding easy as it will pull from low revs in any gear effortlessly.
It is a good comfortable pillion bike and would make an excellent tourer.
If you want a bike that does it all and is bullet proof and low cost you won`t go wrong with one of these.”
“Wow! What a bike. Smooth linear power and plenty of it. Just completed a trip to London via the A40 and then on to Brighton. Happy with the bike but i wish the seat was more comfortable, after two hours on the seat my backside was begging me to pull over.”
“A value for money sport tourer with ABS and luggage. 15000 miles in 3 years without a fault. Enough power for me, good torque and quite comfortable. If you want the electronic gizmo's that some models provide (at a cost of course) this bike isn't for you - if you want a solid, reliable and good performing bike for commuting, touring and having a good ride out at the week end for little money this is perfect.”
“This bike is probably the cheapest sport/tourer on the market and the design is beginning to look a little dated, but every time i get on it i can't help but grin like a cheshire cat, it's smooth, comfortable and has everything you need and is economocal, with full touring luggage (Top box,panniers and tank bag) i got 53 mpg (touring mode), down to 43 mpg when out with a certain mate. I'm only 5'8'' and a bit and on the lowest factory setting it's perfect,it's excellent for both first timers to a bigger bike and for experienced riders, why pay a shed load more for a Honda or a Kwak when you still get the looks and have the same fun on a GSX 1250 Fa. It's sunny outside,now off out for a ride.”
