How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A versatile naked streetfighter built for punchy midrange torque, everyday commuting, and confident weekend cornering rather than outright top speed.
- Built for
- Delivers the characterful, torquey pulse typical of a 90-degree V-twin with sharp, flickable handling from its steel trellis frame and 17-inch sport wheels.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for long-distance touring comfort, pillion-heavy trips, or any off-road riding given its street-focused suspension and minimal wind protection.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
