Best for: Built primarily for spirited sport riding and twisty backroads rather than long-distance travel or utility.
Built for: A raw, aggressive naked bike with exotic Italian styling that rewards an involved, hands-on riding style and appeals to riders who want visceral engagement over comfort.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for new riders, pillion-focused touring, or anyone seeking a relaxed, plush long-haul mount.
