How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for muscular, retro-styled street riding and spirited backroad blasts rather than track lap times or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Delivers a raw, big-bore four-cylinder growl with strong midrange torque and a classic UJM feel that rewards deliberate, muscular riding inputs.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a lightweight, nimble commuter or a plush long-haul tourer.
