Honestly I'm a little jealous that Brembo comes standard at $5,999. But 554cc and 56 horsepower on paper feels a bit light for really pushing hard on track. Whether it actually delivers that direct feel through your fingertips is something you can only know by riding it. I want to try one on home turf soon.

What did you think?

16.5L tank sounds just right for daily riding too

What's the slipper clutch actually for?

It's there to stop the rear wheel locking up under hard braking

For that budget wouldn't a KTM RC390 be better?

56hp for 198kg is kinda meh honestly

Power-to-weight wise that's about average
