The tyre are not enormous despite the power of the engine. The front tyre worns as quickly as the rear one! The engine is fabulous and very robust. The power is present everywhere. The bike is very confortable even for the passenger. It is incredibly easy to load the machine for travelling. Even loaded for a long journey the bike hasn't any problem to transport fast and safelyt its pilot. Not any disturbance or strange behaviour of the bike worries the rider. But if you are not well aware, then can come a problem... how to stop the beast in an emergency situation? It needs anticipation... and practice!
