How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A heritage-styled naked roadster built for spirited backroad rides, weekend cruising, and standing out with classic /5 anniversary looks rather than for outright performance or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Charismatic and characterful, with the signature boxer engine feel, strong midrange torque, and shaft drive giving it a distinctive, unhurried yet engaging personality.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking wind protection, high-speed touring comfort, off-road capability, or a passenger-friendly two-up setup.
