Best for: Designed as an affordable middleweight sport bike for weekend spirited riding and light sport-touring rather than outright track domination.
Built for: The V-twin engine gives it a torquey, characterful pull with a distinctive exhaust note that trades top-end thrills for mid-range grunt.
Not ideal for: Not ideal for new riders wanting an upright commuter or for anyone seeking a plush, wind-protected long-distance tourer.
