How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a naked sport bike, it excels at spirited backroad riding and aggressive cornering rather than long-distance cruising or off-road use.
- Built for
- It has a raw, muscular character typical of Italian V-twin nakeds, delivering strong midrange punch and eager, flickable handling.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for beginners seeking a relaxed ride, or for riders wanting a comfortable long-haul tourer or off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
