The company has worked in the handling of the bike and seating position that gives it the crown of best cornering machine in its segment with the best digital meter that shows everything. Thanks to its sticky metzeler tyres that wont let the bike lose grip even in the hard riding times. The bike is aggressive and if you are a daily commuter looking for comfort then sorry my friend this bike doesnt suits your requirement but if you love highways and do a bit of daily commute then this is the right machine.
