For as small as it is it's surprisingly comfortable with a fairly compliant suspension and well padded solo seat so extended rides are not completely out of the question. The motorcycle is equipped with a full electrical system with lights and turn signals as well as a comprehensive set of gauges including a large speedometer and tach with a turn signal and high beam indicator lights. Interestingly this model did not come equipped with a green neutral indicator.
