How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a lightweight, boutique single-cylinder sportbike, it's designed for carving corners and delivering an exotic, engaging ride rather than for straight-line speed.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a thumping single-cylinder racer, offering a raw, mechanical connection and distinctive exhaust pulse that few multi-cylinder bikes can replicate.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for riders seeking high top speed, long-distance comfort, passenger accommodation, or everyday practicality.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
