How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It is a small-capacity sport bike built for spirited, nimble riding on twisty roads rather than outright straight-line speed or long-distance cruising.
- Built for

- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for riders wanting strong low-end torque, highway touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or any off-road capability.
