How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a low-volume performance streetfighter, it exists for aggressive road riding and spirited cornering rather than commuting or touring.
- Built for
- Raw, mechanical, and boutique, it pairs a thumping air-cooled V-twin with sharp chassis geometry for a visceral, old-school-meets-modern riding experience.
- Not ideal for
- It is not for beginners, passenger-focused riders, long-distance tourers, or anyone seeking wind protection, storage, or plush comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
