How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's best suited for casual city commuting and learning the ropes of riding rather than aggressive performance riding.
- Built for
- The 75-degree V-twin gives it a distinctive throbby, characterful engine note that's uncommon in this class, setting it apart from typical inline-four or single-cylinder entry bikes.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for experienced riders seeking strong highway performance, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
