Best for: Built for flickable, aggressive road-going fun on twisty tarmac and urban cut-and-thrust, with light off-road capability rather than serious touring.
Built for: A quirky, boutique British supermoto that rewards spirited riding with sharp handling, premium WP suspension, and strong brakes rather than raw top-end speed.
Not ideal for: Not ideal for riders wanting high-speed motorway touring, plush two-up comfort, or big-bike stability at speed.
