How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as an exotic, low-volume Italian exercise in engineering, it exists to deliver razor-sharp cornering precision rather than outright top-speed bragging rights.
- Built for
- A boutique, engineering-obsessed machine that rewards a deliberate, analytical riding style over brute-force aggression.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for a new rider, a pillion-focused commuter, or anyone seeking long-distance touring comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
