• High price point makes it inaccessible to many riders; it's a significant investment for a motorcycle. • Considerable weight and size can make it challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or at low speeds. • Fuel economy, while decent for its engine size, is not exceptional compared to smaller touring motorcycles. • Complexity of the electronics and DCT (if equipped) can lead to potentially expensive repairs. • Limited off-road capability due to its weight, street-focused tires, and overall design.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
