How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for spirited sport riding and twisty backroads, where its light weight and strong midrange torque let it dive into corners and accelerate hard out of them.
- Built for
- A raw, characterful V-twin superbike with a muscular exhaust note and a visceral, unfiltered connection between throttle and rear tire.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for new riders, those seeking plush all-day comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or off-road use.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
