How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- 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.
