How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It was built as an affordable, lightweight sport bike for spirited riding on twisty roads rather than for outright speed or distance travel.
- Built for
- It has the eager, high-strung character typical of a liquid-cooled two-stroke single, rewarding riders who keep the engine spinning in its peaky rev range.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good choice for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or serious off-road capability.
