The descendant of VanVan which ruled the world in 1970’s came back to alive with injections. The style of this motorcycle always soothes our minds. I rode on it and started the engine. Thanks to the injection, it started in a moment. I appreciate this function more in accordance with the frequency of the use of the motorcycle.
It goes unexpectedly smooth from low range to mid-high range. This new model definitely speeds up better than the previous one. It is not that easy to ride it at the high speed as to be expected of 200cc, but it makes me feel so good when the speed of the engine rotation picks up smoothly. Newly adopted chrome cylinders and a oil cooler improve its reliability. I bet you can stick to this new style nearly forever.
It used to wear thick tires, so I often felt anxious about brakes or riding curves. However, this new VanVan is very easy to handle and the brake works great as long as I go with the normal speed. It turns very well even in “lean with” position, and there is no issues about effectiveness of the brake or riding the curves. I rather think you do not want to lean in or lean out if you are not skilled enough. The handling is very light, so you do not want to press the handle unconsciously.
If you want to raise your profile with the style different from others, this is definitely the one you want go with. Stock condition or Customized, whichever you like.
