Best for
A versatile naked-sport machine built primarily for spirited commuting, twisty backroads, and learning the fundamentals of sporty riding.
Built for
Playful and eager, with a torquey V-twin engine and agile handling that rewards flicking through corners rather than outright top-end speed.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders wanting long-distance touring comfort, serious off-road capability, or high-speed superbike performance.
