Best for: Built as a homologation-special superbike, its purpose is outright track performance and competition-derived thrills rather than everyday transport.
Built for: It rewards a committed, precision-focused rider who craves razor-sharp handling, explosive acceleration, and the visceral feel of a factory-derived race engine.
Not ideal for: It is a poor choice for new riders, commuters, or anyone wanting comfort, passenger accommodation, or long-distance touring capability.
