How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a sport-touring machine that favors twisty roads and spirited solo riding over outright top-speed bragging rights or long-haul comfort.
- Built for
- A nimble, torquey twin with sharp handling manners that feels eager and precise rather than raw or intimidating.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, heavy touring loads, or a plush, upright cruiser-style seating position.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
