Tester's Notes: Revised footrest position raises rider ergonomics to a high standard Styling bang identical to the GF125 with minor detail variations Vibrations cured to a great degree but still above acceptable limits, especially through the footrest Excellent balance between ride and handling Gear shifts are now top drawer with nary a missed gear or false neutral
