New W230 owner
 

Just picked up a 2025 W230. Nice little bike. Definitely not a freeway, two up cruiser but, more than enough for 99% of my riding.

Sounds like it should be a fun urban and back road ride. I rode an SR500 for a number of years on back roads. I will say I try to avoid more open highways and any limited access "4 lane" main highways as much as possible, making smaller bikes a lot more fun.

Yeah it’s definitely not a freeway runner. It is a step above my previous 150cc scooter though. It has a lot less vibration than say, a Harley. It’s actually very smooth.
