How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a boutique flat-track-inspired street special, it's meant for spirited short rides and showing off Italian craftsmanship rather than practical transportation.
- Built for
- It has a gritty, minimalist, mechanical personality with a big thumping single-cylinder engine and bare-bones speedway racing DNA.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger accommodation, or high-speed touring capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
