So it was only a 13 mile ride home but these are my initial thoughts. It almost feels like a toy compared to the Rally. Revvy engine (but in a good way) , it ran out of puff at about 65mph so I need to look at the gearing. Suspension felt fine on the road and good brakes for a trail bike.
The handlebars are shit , too narrow and not enough sweep but I have bars and hand guards on the way. Once i've done that and got a rack I'll be off to do some (easy) lanes to see what it's like off-road
