How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A versatile naked V-twin built for everyday riding, commuting, and spirited weekend cornering rather than outright speed or long-distance comfort.
- Built for
- Offers a light, flickable chassis with a torquey, characterful V-twin engine that rewards smooth throttle use over raw horsepower.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking serious highway touring comfort, off-road capability, or top-tier outright performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
