Best for: Built for aggressive sport-naked riding, fast backroad blasts, and spirited cornering rather than utility or long-distance cruising.
Built for: An exotic, low-volume Italian V-twin with premium Ohlins and Marzocchi suspension, big power, and a raw, characterful engine note.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for beginners, taller-distance tourers seeking comfort, or riders wanting an easy-going commuter.
