O.K so it's an N I own and not an S, but it's the sme bike, but without the sporty bit on the front. mine has actually been modified, as in it has dual headlights (HIGHLY recommended), stainless steeel exhaust & pinnings and a scottoiler (again VERY recommended). I have found it extremely easy to ride, very energetic little bike. Comfortable if going the distance and yet still exciting enough for those little country road jaunts. You do have to work those gears, and keep the engine revs up though for anything resembling a quick getaway. I believe the 1200 engine is better than the 600 for that sort of thing. But for those who either cant afford the insurance on a 1200, or want to start on a smaller bike (perhaps just passed your test?) Then nothing can beat the 600. Of course this bike is also good for town traffic, and it's easy riding style makes it a loy less hassle when you are threading your way through the rush hour. All in all a good allrounder, an excellent bike to use as an upgrade from smaller learners, before going on to the really big bikes. Easy to ride, easy to maintain and reliable, what more could you want?
