How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's a versatile middleweight sport bike aimed at commuting, weekend rides, and learning cornering technique rather than outright track performance.
- Built for
- It has a friendly, forgiving parallel-twin character with smooth, linear power delivery and predictable handling from its steel perimeter frame.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders wanting genuine superbike acceleration, off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger and luggage.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
