The front forks are too soft, which makes the bike feel wallowy over bumps. The rear shock is also too mild, which makes the bike feel bouncy over rough roads.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brakes could be more robust:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The brakes on the 450SR S could be more powerful. The front brakes are weak, which makes it difficult to stop the bike quickly. The rear brake is also weak, which makes it difficult to control the bike when braking hard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lack of some features:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The 450SR S needs to include some of the features found on more expensive sportbikes, such as a quick shifter and cruise control.
