Conclusion
So: thumbs up, or not? Clearly, thumbs up. Rarely can you ride a motorbike, which perhaps does not meet the personal taste and certainly not the riding style – but which nevertheless earns sympathy points without end.
It is a Honda, I want to say: High quality is guaranteed, easy operation as already mentioned. Perhaps the price prevents the purchase? No, it's 6075 Euros new price, so all the fun is for small money.
The test bike was provided to us by Motofun in Kaltenkirchen.
