I borrowed this bike off of RidersShare for several days and put about 250+ miles on it. With 411cc, 428 lbs wet with off road capabilities, it's the tallest, most top heavy bike I've ever ridden. This is the USA version - so it is fuel injected but it does have a choke. As a short rider that usually commutes in town, I had a great time with this bike in the city, on the highway, and on country and mountain roads. The owner and RidersShare didn't want me to take it off-road, so I made sure to respect those caveats.
