How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A street supermoto built for carving city streets, backroad hairpins and kart-track laps. Wheelies, stoppies and flickable fun over outright speed.
- Built for
- A playful, energetic single-cylinder motard-light, torquy and endlessly flickable. All about grins per mile rather than top-end thrills.
- Not ideal for
- Not for highway commuters, tourers or two-up riders-tiny 10L tank, buzzy single, no wind protection and a seat too tall for short inseams.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
