How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It exists for spirited backroad carving and trackday-style cornering rather than outright top-speed bragging or daily commuting.
- Built for
- A rare, hand-built desmodromic V-twin special that prioritizes razor-sharp handling and exclusivity over raw horsepower figures.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for new riders, pillion-heavy touring plans, or anyone wanting plush comfort and low-maintenance ownership.
