This is my first motorcycle and I love it.
The seat height is perfect for females like myself. The ergonomics are great for someone my size. The upright seating position is great in traffic and around town. On the highway, I just slide back in the seat a little and bend the elbows a little more and I'm fully protected from the wind.
With the linear power curve and six speed it is very quick and easy to learn to ride.
I ride to and from work as much as I can (weather permitting), running errands around town, and on longer weekend trips. It's a great do everything bike. It was a perfect choice for me.
