Criticism
" In the off-road use, the big cat is totally out of place. Your landing gear whines loud on gravel roads for mercy. So let their 115 hp rather in the intricate sweep of Falzarego off the leash, and this is where their orientation to the tourist-oriented Funbike crystallized out. The brilliant 1050 cubic three-cylinder flatters with his seductive, powerful character, already pushes from 1500 tours cultivated and vibration- free as a turbine forward and catapulted the 228 kilos light of Tiger Return to bend.
