How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a high-performance naked bike, it excels at hard acceleration, spirited cornering, and aggressive road riding rather than long-distance comfort or off-road use.
- Built for
- It has an intense, muscular character defined by its howling inline-four engine, shaft-drive smoothness, and razor-sharp front-end feedback from the Duolever system.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone prioritizing plush comfort and long-haul touring capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
