It is heavy if you need to push it about. It’s not the proper 90deg. classic V4. TC is basic (big button to switch off anytime.)
It replaced a much loved and ridden GSX14 so heavy and boingy ( Nitron on the CT rear) does not bother me. In fact I would say it would slaughter my SV 1000S everywhere apart from the track.
Narrow tyres and wide bars on these “adv” bikes mean you can really boss and hussle them. You get proper quality road rubber for them these days.
