Best for
Best suited to spirited backroad riding and light sport-touring where its shaft-drive V2 charm and muscular midrange take priority over cutting-edge handling.
Built for
It has a distinctly Italian, mechanical personality with strong shaft-drive torque pulses and air-cooled charm rather than clinical precision.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders seeking modern electronics, off-road capability, or the sharpest possible cornering agility.

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