You may be getting into more power than you are expecting…it’s probably only around 60Hp but it will be peaky being a 4cyl…I think it is doable, but it won’t be a popular choice around here…lower Hp is prefered, and much safer…

Edit: Here is an owner review of the bike with some comments from other owners…

Sounds like it is buzzy and a little unstable…I would maybe look a little farther…a Ninja 500 (EX500) and Suzuki GS500 are the more popular choices…

Good luck!!

Later.
