How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for

- Built for
- A raw, torque-heavy in-line four with an old-school GSX-R attitude, favoring brute acceleration over modern refinement.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or riders seeking a plush, upright touring experience.
