⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited power and performance compared to larger displacement motorcycles, which may not be suitable for highway riding or long-distance trips.
• Outdated technology and features, such as drum brakes and carbureted engine, which may require more maintenance and tuning.
• Relatively small fuel tank capacity, resulting in frequent stops for refueling during extended rides.
• Limited aftermarket customization options compared to more popular models, making it challenging to personalize the bike to suit individual preferences.
