Best for
It's built as an entry-level sport-standard, equally happy commuting through traffic or enjoying a twisty backroad on the weekend.
Built for
The inline-four engine and DOHC head give it a smooth, revvy character with a linear, approachable power delivery rather than outright aggression.
Not ideal for
It's not the right choice for riders seeking track-level performance, serious long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
