How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a lightweight sporty commuter and back-road scratcher rather than a practical all-rounder, reflecting Italian 125cc sport bikes of the early 1980s.
- Built for
- Expect a buzzy, revvy, two-stroke soundtrack with dual front discs and a 6-speed gearbox that reward frequent shifting and an aggressive riding style.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger capability, or any kind of off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
