How it rides

Smooth, quiet and almost unbreakable. It's not exciting but it starts every morning and sips fuel.

Quirks owners talk about

Drum brakes feel weak at speed; skinny 2.75-section tyres skate in the wet; only 4 gears; feels underpowered with a pillion on flyovers.

Brakes: Drums front and rear (IBS on i3S variant) — adequate only at commuter speeds.
