✅ Why buy this bike?

⚠️ Things to consider

• Air-cooled engine can overheat in heavy traffic, leading to uncomfortable rider temperatures and potential performance issues. • Limited dealer network and parts availability can make maintenance and repairs challenging. • Vibration from the large displacement V-twin can become fatiguing on longer rides. • Small fuel tank capacity (14 liters) limits range, requiring frequent refueling, especially on highways. • Harsh ride quality over rougher roads due to stiff suspension, not ideal for touring.
