Best for
It is built primarily as a sporty middleweight for spirited road riding and occasional track days rather than long-distance touring.
Built for
The V2 engine layout paired with an inverted fork and adjustable monoshock suggests a torquey, characterful ride with sharp handling rather than outright top-end speed.
Not ideal for
This is not a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, plush long-haul comfort, or a low-maintenance carbureted commuter.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
