How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a big-bore adventure-touring trail bike for long-distance dual-sport riding rather than outright speed or sport handling.
- Built for
- A torquey, air-cooled thumper with rugged, go-anywhere character and a relaxed, unhurried demeanor on the road.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking sharp cornering precision, high top speed, or a light, flickable machine for city commuting.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
