How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for relaxed, long-distance touring and highway cruising rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
- Built for
- The V4 engine and shaft drive give it a smooth, torquey, low-maintenance character suited to unhurried mile-munching rather than aggressive acceleration.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight nimble city runabout.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
