How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Despite the Safari name suggesting adventure use, this is fundamentally a lightweight single-cylinder enduro-style machine built for rough terrain and low-speed control rather than sustained highway speed.
- Built for
- It has the raw, mechanical character of a classic air-cooled single, with a narrow but usable powerband and a focus on control over outright speed.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for riders wanting a comfortable, fast, or passenger-friendly touring or commuting motorcycle.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
