Appearance

A bit on the ugly side with it's thin shape but styling is like tea, some like it hot and some cold.
Comfort
5
Very comfy and relaxed upward sitting position, soft springs and long bars.
Performance
4
With 45 Hp you can do a lot of stuff that don't require speed, enough torque to go everywhere on and off road, you can ride this bike with very little gas twist but it really transforms when you twist it all the way!
Durability
5
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down! A real workhorse from Kawasaki, you could put water for oil and whiskey for gas and it would still manage to take you home. Easy maintenance and durable materials accompanied by Kawasaki's habit of multy platform parts sharing.

Shares a lot of parts with orher Kawasaki bikes and you will need a lot of hardahip and miles before you need something important... That won't need to sell a kidney to buy!
