Riding it, you immediately understand that the device is humble and calm - from a sports projectile in it, perhaps, only numbers on the tachometer scale: the red zone starts at 12, 000 rpm. Direct landing, a high handlebar and a windshield at eye level plus a soft one-piece seat give the motorcycle a "divanness." The controls, handlebars are very convenient, because they are made in the standard "Honda" style.

I drive the first few hundred meters … And what do you think? There is no sport "in your mind" in it! I sit without touching the belly of the gas tank, and this despite the fact that the clippers are standard, without an upper extension. The front fork tilt angle is like that of a road bike, and I feel a surge of confidence necessary for driving in a stream of cars: although the bike is touristic, you cannot blame it for lack of maneuverability.

A sufficiently high-torque engine with an absolutely even character of power gain in the entire rev range allows you to get rid of constant tension not only muscles but also brains. The motor, like a kind giant, is powerful, but not at all sharp, practically devoid of failures and subsequent pickups. The layout of the power unit is such that with a sufficiently large volume of combustion chambers it is very narrow - due to the V-shaped arrangement of the cylinders. The generator and clutch covers do not protrude beyond the boundaries of the plastic, and this is a considerable plus: with a slight fall (God forbid!) They will not suffer, which means that the motorcycle will remain on track. But I would install protective sliders on it: plastic is still not cheap at all. However, the tourist nature of the car does not encourage extreme driving on the verge of a foul. I will not say that this is impossible. Passing the next turn, he reported the motorcycle to touch the asphalt with his knee - and new scratches appeared on the jumpsuit slider. However, in a bunch of right and left turns, the apparatus is shifted slowly. Perhaps this is due to the relatively high (even by the standards of a road bike) center of gravity. Yes, and it is located closer to the front of the motorcycle, which prevents involuntary kidnapping. Even after several attempts to lift the motorcycle to the rear wheel, he, stiffly resisting, did not allow this to happen without the risk of falling.
