- A do-it-all naked streetbike that excels at spirited road riding, commuting, and weekend canyon carving rather than dedicated track or touring use.
- Built for

- Not ideal for
- Not ideal for off-road adventures, tall-windscreen highway touring comfort seekers, or complete novice riders due to its strong midrange power delivery.
