Best for
Built for sharp, playful sport riding on twisty roads rather than outright speed or distance covering.
Built for
A revvy, high-strung two-stroke that demands to be kept on the boil and rewards an aggressive, engaged riding style.
Not ideal for
Not a good match for taller riders, highway commuters, or anyone wanting a relaxed, comfortable long-distance machine.
