How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for

- Built for
- It has an old-school single-cylinder thumper charm with classic looks, a peashooter exhaust note, and unhurried, easygoing manners.
- Not ideal for
- It's not for riders seeking highway-speed touring, sporty cornering performance, or any serious off-road capability.
