• Limited top speed and acceleration, struggling on highways compared to modern motorcycles. • Vibrations from the large single-cylinder engine can be noticeable, especially at higher RPMs. • Braking performance is adequate but not exceptional, requiring careful planning in traffic. • Outdated suspension technology offers a less refined ride over rougher road surfaces. • Electrical system can be temperamental on older models, potentially requiring attention.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
