Quick review

Uses same engine as R18; makes 91hp and a staggering 158Nm.

Transcontinental 82kg heavier than standard R18.

Wind deflectors do a good job of directing air toward the rider.

Ground clearance is just about enough but you have to exercise caution.

Neat little cubby on the tank can accommodate large smartphones.
