Best for
Built as a supermoto weapon, it excels at tight, twisty tarmac, flick-flack direction changes, and aggressive cornering rather than any form of relaxed riding.
Built for
Raw, minimalist, and razor-sharp, it feels like a motocrosser wearing street tyres, with instant steering response and a hard-edged, mechanical personality.
Not ideal for
It is a poor choice for anyone wanting comfort, wind protection, luggage capacity, passenger accommodation, or long-distance touring.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
