- A raw, lightweight air-cooled inline-four with a sharp chassis, it rewards precise inputs with razor-sharp handling and old-school analog feedback.
- Not ideal for
- This bike is not for riders seeking upright comfort, long-distance touring ease, passenger-friendly accommodations, or any form of off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
