How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a high-speed sport tourer, it excels at devouring long highway miles quickly while still offering genuine sporting performance when the road turns twisty.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a muscular, refined missile: brutal in-line four power delivery wrapped in a stable, well-damped chassis with premium Öhlins and Brembo components.
- Not ideal for
- It is not the right choice for new riders, dedicated off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
