The Telelever's anti-dive action makes for reassuring, efficient riding, while the Paralever with integrated cardan shaft erases the shortcomings of this type of transmission. You'll want to play with this BM, but you can't really venture out on the trails. The bike prefers the secondary network, where it's at its best. The desire to carve up the road gradually takes hold of the rider. Even so, he'll have to limit motorway travel, as the protection is just right. It's not enough to look like the big sister, as it's the big sister that's in the public eye.

Consommation excessive

JMC Model 2000

Handling and roadholding are excellent. On the other hand, the fuel consumption figures given in the technical data sheets are very, very, very optimistic. When driving slowly, I always flirt with 10 liters per 100 km, loaded or not. A far cry from the 5.5 claimed. 05/20/2022 07:34 Rating : 5/5 Respond to JMC
