Best for: Built for aggressive backroad carving, tight canyon corners, and urban hooliganism rather than long-distance cruising.
Built for: A raw, high-strung supermoto with V-twin punch, razor-sharp steering geometry, and minimal wind protection that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style.
Not ideal for: Not ideal for riders seeking plush comfort, wind protection, or a relaxed two-up touring platform.
