The gears are simple and easy to use, and the tires provide excellent reliability, allowing you to venture onto slightly rougher roads as well as city streets. It offers the feeling of a sport bike that's easy to approach without being overly formal, while still providing the exhilarating lightness you'd expect.
It has the versatility to respond the moment you think, "Paved roads aren't enough," or "I want to take a detour," and naturally expands your weekend enjoyment while serving as a base for commuting and daily use.
