⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited aftermarket parts availability, which can make maintenance and repairs more challenging.
• Relatively low power output compared to modern motorcycles, resulting in slower acceleration and top speed.
• Outdated suspension and braking technology, which may not provide the same level of performance and safety as newer models.
• Lack of modern convenience features such as electric start, fuel injection, and ABS.
