Best for: Built primarily as a flagship sport-touring hyper-bike for devastating straight-line speed and high-speed stability rather than tight track carving.
Built for: A brutally powerful, smooth, and stable in-line four cruiser-missile that thrives on open roads and long high-speed hauls.
Not ideal for: This is not the right choice for new riders, tight urban commuting, or anyone seeking a light, flickable corner-carving machine.
