Rider Fit	Its lightweight, slim trail-bike build makes it easy to handle for smaller or less experienced riders and manageable when standing on rough ground.
Character	A simple, rugged, kick-start single that rewards patience and mechanical simplicity over performance thrills.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting sustained highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger.
