Safety is paramount, with expanding drum brakes at both front and rear, and an optional front disc brake for those desiring extra stopping power. The bike’s 9.60-litre fuel tank means fewer stops at the pump, and with a seat height of 799 mm, it caters well to a wide range of riders, ensuring a comfortable and secure riding position. ###
