How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily as a homologation-era sportbike, it excels at spirited road riding and track days rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- It has the personality of a raw, high-revving 90s superbike: eager, direct, and reward-driven when pushed hard through corners.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for new riders, those seeking upright comfort, or anyone wanting to venture off-road.
