How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A naked streetfighter built for spirited backroad carving and urban riding rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
- Built for
- Delivers a punchy, characterful V-twin exhaust note and torque-rich midrange that rewards throttle confidence over outright top-end speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for off-road adventures, pillion-heavy touring, or riders seeking plush long-haul comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
