How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A big-bore retro naked built for muscular straight-line thrust and blustery, brawny street riding rather than outright cornering precision.
- Built for
- Raw, air-cooled in-line four charm with a growling exhaust note and old-school analog feel that rewards a physical, hands-on riding style.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders seeking light, forgiving handling or for anyone wanting a bike suited to gravel or off-road use.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
