Very good handling / performance for its class
By Jay(Owner), Feb. 14, 2021
Have 4500 miles. Surprised how well it handles. Smooth, effortless. For its 60hp class there is lots of power. Quickly gets to 50mph and cruises along at 60. Top speed must be less then 70

After 4500miles still runs great, no problems
