The real deal in the sub-500 class has finally arrived. A 420cc parallel-twin with a 135-degree crank, 48hp, a 6.5-inch TFT — just reading the spec sheet has me hooked already.

This looks like it'll set a new standard for lightweight ADVs, and I'm dying to do a thorough comparison against the established middleweight crowd.
