How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a naked streetfighter, it excels at fast, aggressive road riding and spirited cornering rather than long-distance cruising or off-road use.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a hot-rod, blending superbike-derived performance with an upright, muscular naked-bike stance.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or riders seeking a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
