Looking at the spec sheet, 649cc making 67hp and 48.5 lb-ft is a genuinely balance-focused number for the middleweight class. Keeping the seat height at 31.1 inches and weight in the low 420s is the part that gets my pulse up. It tracks that comfort is getting praised over the outgoing bike too.

Comfort's great, but honestly the styling is a bit plain.

Plain styling is fine if it means you'll actually ride it for years.

67hp and 48.5 lb-ft is a solidly balanced middleweight spec.

$8,199 with ABS feels genuinely reachable.

Seat height sounds friendly — okay for shorter riders too?

31.1 inches should be manageable for most Japanese riders too.
