How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built exclusively for closed-circuit road racing, with a screaming two-stroke V2 and featherweight chassis designed to win on the track, not to be ridden on public roads.
- Built for
- Raw, explosive, and razor-sharp, this machine rewards aggressive precise inputs with blistering acceleration and telepathic cornering ability.
- Not ideal for
- This is not for commuting, touring, carrying passengers, casual riding, or anyone without genuine racetrack experience and a support crew for a temperamental two-stroke race engine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
