A small cruiser-styled learner machine built around a light air-cooled single. It offers a low seat, wide bars and chrome trim, and is easy to handle in town. Output is modest, and it tops out at a relaxed pace, so it suits new riders and short commutes. Reviewers liked the looks and running costs but found it short of breath at higher road speeds.
