My biggest issue with this bike is the fact that I can get my hands on a 2019 Kawasaki Z400 with ABS for about 800 more brand new. Figure this bike shipped is $3000 and its not hard to find a Z400 for $3800 as end of year bikes.
For my $800 extra I get - a Kawi and all of the mainstream hardware and quality that comes with that, almost double the power with only 79 more CC's, similar styling
Not entirely fair if we went with MSRP to MSRP, because at that point its 3k delivered vs. 5k. but the power difference is pretty drastic. Now, if it was around $2500 delivered I think I would be a bit more open to it, or if they could manage at least 28-30hp from that 320cc motor. As it sits you get half the bike for not half the price, and it isn't hard to get a Z400 for just a bit more, and then have a bike with good resale and a huge aftermarket.
Maybe I am being unfair, and I admit that I have not sat on or ridden one of these to make a real comprehensive judgement of the bike, but where I sit now, the price is a bit dear for what you get. $2500 delivered is my make it or break it point for this bike.
