Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.

“I love my XE but I will never take it for any real off-roading. This bike is just too heavy and too expensive for any real off-road riding.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“I'm 6'4 the height is perfect for me. I really love it. What I don't like, that the 6th gear is too short...and because of that at highway speed the fuel consumption is awful.”

“I sometimes wish it was geared a little better for the highway, with better wind protection...”
