I’ve ridden mine since 2014 with no issues and no desire to upgrade. I do think they expect you will remove the rear fender, that needed to be eliminated from age.

I support the other guys primary point. What is your riding style. I learned to ride on a supermoto so wanted to keep an ability to stand on my pegs even when I transitioned to a ‘commuter’ bike. I ride neutral, but it leans and counter leans great on turns. I test rode 2 dozen bikes and ended up going with this because the value for price was unmatched imo. I ride basically daily 30 min each way to work and the bike feels great but on hour long rides you feel it… there is no windscreen so tuck painfully or get blown. It’s a joy to ride, plenty of power for me even on CA freeways.

for what it’s worth I rarely hit speeds over 160km, If I was going to race it I would shorten the front forks probably. I’d prob get a street bike or sumo for that.
