Best for
Designed as a sport-touring machine that favors twisty roads and spirited solo riding over outright top-speed bragging rights or long-haul comfort.
Built for
A nimble, torquey twin with sharp handling manners that feels eager and precise rather than raw or intimidating.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, heavy touring loads, or a plush, upright cruiser-style seating position.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
