Was very impressed by this bike. Found it very neutral and easy to ride. The riding position was pretty similar to my Blade as well so I found it comfortable apart from the footpegs were a bit higher but they are adjustable so I am sure that can be sorted.

The engine was lacking in mid-range compared to the 675 and my Blade but that's to be expected cause it is a 600 however once you got past 8,000 revs it comes to life. If you want mid-range then there is the 750 anyway.

The suspension is excellent, it feels firm and gives loads of feedback but soaked up all the bumps without problems. I was getting thrown out of the seat all the time on the Triumph but this was much better.

There are some nice gizmos like flashing lights to tell you to change gear and a lap timer, there is also a button to reign back the power if riding in the wet.

Only down side are the looks. I wouldn't say it was ugly but compared to the Daytona it's very plain.

This is definitely a contender for my next bike
