How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for aggressive backroad carving and supermoto-style thrills rather than long-distance travel or off-road exploration.
- Built for
- A raw, boxer-powered supermoto oddball that blends BMW touring-bike engineering with a stripped-down hooligan attitude.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for beginners, pillion-focused riders, or anyone seeking genuine off-road or long-haul touring capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
