How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a low-weight, race-bred sport machine, it excels at fast, precise cornering rather than everyday practicality.
- Built for
- It has the personality of an exotic, purist Italian sportbike: nimble, sharp-edged, and rewarding to a rider who wants a connected, engaged ride over comfort.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for touring, passenger comfort, off-road use, or riders seeking a relaxed, forgiving everyday commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
