Best Bike In This Segment

I've ridden nearly 3000 km on this beauty and let me tell you, that inline-3 whistle is addictive. I love the way this engine revs, it leaves you wanting for more every time you rev it, it's a rev-happy machine, and power delivery is amazing, to say the least, with low RPM-great punch, mid RPM (here the bike unveils itself) the strongest band.
