It was amazing on gas. She could easily get 300km on the 10 liter tank. Idling it vibrated like crazy but as soon as you were riding it was smooth. Automatic choke, self-adjusting hydraulic valve lifters, you could change the plug with the tank on the bike (if needed) and belt drive. My wife kept hers for a year and then outgrew that also but she thought it was a great bike. She's done a 1000km day on it and not issues about the comfort. The only thing that we did to the bike was put lower wider bars on it and heavy bar end weights. It would run out of steam quick on the highway or when you were passing someone. It would top out around 160km/h with her on it. Overall I thought it was a decent little bike.
