How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's a versatile naked machine best suited to spirited road riding, commuting, and occasional weekend touring rather than track days or off-road adventures.
- Built for
- Expect a torque-rich, relaxed power delivery typical of a large-displacement inline-four, with stable, planted handling rather than razor-sharp agility.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for smaller or novice riders seeking a lightweight, nimble first bike, nor for anyone wanting genuine off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
