Proper review

 

[Clifton]

Ian does pretty thorough reviews and is yet another one bashing (literally) the ground clearance for a rally styled adventure bike with 21" front wheel. Kawasaki got so much right on the bike only to ruin the whole package with the minimal clearance. It has the same modest clearance as an NX500 or Versys 300X, and probably less than a big R1250/1300GS, which is fine on gravel and smooth dirt roads but nothing much worse than that.
