barely notice it, darls”. For as long as you have your licence. Ahem. Yes, this smart small-to-middleweight‘ motard, all orange and white and black, looks like a lamb. You won’ t want to ride it down to the Molesworth( or maybe you might), but your weekends won’ t be the same again. If you’ re serious, you can tell her it has the best brakes around. And 230mm of suspension travel front and back. And its under $ 10k, or maybe a smidgin over with the quickshifter. But it’ s just a fantastic ride, eats bumps and crappy surfaces, and is pure, unadulterated fun. Yeah, I liked it. A lot. Really a lot. As I said to the boss, it’ s an absolute hoot. Have a play, I’ m almost certain you’ ll regret it. Briefly. LOL.
