Thoughts?
$5,699 w/ABS and comes standard with a 4.5 gallon fuel tank (!). Advertised as a long distance runner and a commuter. I like the fuel efficient parallel twin 296cc engine from the Ninja (but tuned for torque), the 19 inch front wheel, the range, and the weight...only 386 lbs fully-fueled and ready to go. That gives you a lot of capacity for packing and still keeps GVWR under a quarter-ton...Important when trying to muscle it off a trail or out of a ditch...
Suddenly my NC is looking a bit like a porker ;-)
I imagine the engine has to spin like crazy to make any power, especially near highway speeds. I'm thinking instead of interstates and limited access roads this would make a great Blue Highway cruiser/tourer and be light enough to get a bit off road for some stealth camping.....Might be the perfect tool for the Trans-Labrador or a ride to Panama ;-)
