How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands around town rather than any kind of performance riding.
- Built for
- A simple, practical, retro-styled runabout that favors easy automatic operation and nimble city maneuvering over outright performance.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right machine for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real speed or power.
