How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a sport-touring machine that blends confident long-distance comfort with genuinely engaging handling for a shaft-driven boxer twin.
- Built for
- The boxer engine layout and ShiftCam variable valve tech give it a distinctive low-end pull and smooth, torquey character that rewards relaxed, confident riding over frantic revving.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking a dedicated off-road or dirt-capable machine, as its road-focused chassis and cardan shaft drive are not designed for rough terrain.
