Best for
Built as a supermoto, it excels at aggressive, flickable cornering on tight twisty roads and occasional track days rather than long-distance cruising.
Built for
It has a punchy, torquey V2 engine character paired with razor-sharp steering geometry, making it feel eager, playful, and slightly wild at low speed.
Not ideal for
It is not a good fit for riders wanting a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer or a machine suited to serious off-road trail riding.
