What the numbers mean
The 882 mm seat is tall, in dual-sport territory; inseam matters more here than on a road bike.
At 142 kg it is manageable at walking pace but heavy enough to notice on a slope.
The 7.8 L tank is typical for the class and enough for a week of commuting between fills. The manufacturer does not publish a consumption figure, so this page does not quote a range.
Tyres are 80/100 - 21M/C 51P front and 120/80 - 18M/C 62P rear. Check that your local shop stocks both before a long trip.

Ownership and maintenance notes
- Clean and lubricate the chain at short intervals in rain or dust, and check slack with the bike on its side stand. A loose chain wears sprockets quickly; a tight one loads the output bearing.
- Check tyre pressures cold. On a light bike a few psi matters more than it does on a car, and it changes both steering and tyre life.
- Liquid cooling adds a coolant level and condition check. Do it when the engine is cold, and never open the radiator cap on a hot engine.
- After water crossings or dusty tracks, check the air filter and chain first. Dirt reaches both before it reaches the oil.
- Inspect the brake pads after muddy rides; grit embedded in a pad wears a disc faster than normal road use.
