How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as an aggressive, track-capable street naked, it excels at fast, twisty road riding and spirited cornering rather than commuting or long-distance comfort.
- Built for
- It has the character of a raw, high-strung superbike-engined streetfighter, rewarding confident throttle input with explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for beginners, riders seeking plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or any kind of off-road use.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
