Well-integrated radar cruise control

Comprehensible operating concept

Easy-to-read display

Wide range of options for ergonomics adjustment

Strong brakes

Great functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system

Very good balance even with very high loads

Not every desired configuration is possible - sometimes unnecessary extras have to be selected

suspension works at a high level - however, a really flawless reponsiveness is not offered, nor is a really wide adjustment range

Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday use

with a very sporty riding style, you get a slight rolling motion in the vehicle

bike looks a little too compact for an adventure bike on tall riders, especially from the rear

ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever when riding in a sporty manner

susceptibility of the side fairings to scratches in raw terrain and when used with rough boots

handguards with integrated indicators not suitable for off-road riding
