Advantages: Great in traffic.

Disadvantages: High ride height when windy a bit 'scary'.

After using my Yamaha 600 everyday to commute to work I used to more or less see the same guys on their 500s, 600s, 750s and bigger and we used to acknowledge each other at the lights in the mornings or on the way back from London to Croydon on an evening. Well that one got stolen so I got myself a Gilera FX 180.
I set off for work at the same time and seen the usual lads on their big superbikes and acknowledged them but they just laughed at me - very annoying! So I let rip when the lights changed and watched through mirrors them trying to catch up with me! What a laugh - they talked more about the Gilera after that and I was the one who was laughing. The smaller wheels obviously take a little getting used to cornering with the higher position but soon get used to it. Great little 'Runner' - only had to fill up 1 and half times a week for a 26 six mile daily journey. A cracking little bike.

Summary: I wish I'd never sold it.
