The engine has great potential for an overlander bike ,light ,simple and powerful for it's size . A twin will always have an easier time on the highway than a single and a twin is still manageable on dirt roads .Parallel twins are compact and allow a shorter wheelbase ,my favourite engine type !
But the rest of the bike leaves a lot to be desired IMHO and remains a street poseur machine - not that that is necessarily a bad thing .
Rather like it's sister machine the 650 Ninja ,it somehow misses the mark .
The front fairing is butt ugly too .
