I greet you after a long time my dear friends.
As you read in the title, I want to introduce you to this Japanese-Spanish motorcycle of the touring motorcycle category.

How did I get here to her?
I had a small budget, and every day I looked on the Internet for motorcycles, I had a look at some low-budget bikes like the Kawasaki er-5 and similar. This particular one also appeared for really ridiculous money.
I immediately called the ad, it was still available and I showed great interest. We arranged the tour for the weekend.
In the meantime, I read about the bike on forums and communities and thought it was a good choice.

I rode about a hundred kilometers for the motorbike, that's a good distance.
On the spot, I'm already doing an inspection of the motorcycle and a test ride.¨
I immediately recognize the bad front forks and steering.
Lots of cosmetic flaws indeed
.

I really like the way the engine works, I like the two-cylinder engine.
But the bike has 130,000 kilometers on it. Did someone take care of her? Did she get serviced?

I'm still getting a discount on the motorbike, I say to myself, I have to buy it now. I drive home on my Honda with a smile on my face.

I drove five hundred kilometers before the first failure.
I cried here. Really.
I tell myself I'm an idiot, what the hell was I thinking.
Will the motorcycle run like new for a few crowns?

Are you guessing? What happened? I will write about it next time. About the whole glitch, and the fix.
Now the bike is running and doing me a good job.

I really have to say that I am now obsessed with motorcycles and I have big plans, I will soon start building a collection of classic bikes.

Maximum power Horsepower 56.00 HP (40.9 kW) @ 7750 RPM
Maximum torque 56.00 Nm (5.7 kgf-m or 41.3 ft.lbs) @ 6250 RPM
Gearbox 5-speed
Dry Weight 223.0 kg (491.6 pounds)
The most I drove on one tank was three hundred kilometers.

I hope you liked this article, you will look forward to the next one, already a service blog, and I will focus on driving characteristics and the availability of spare parts.
Thank you very much that this Hive-motors blog is here so that I can share my experiences.
