How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for

- Built for
- A powerful, refined, shaft-driven mile-eater that pairs genuine sport-bike acceleration with touring comfort, weather protection, and low-maintenance shaft drive.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight city commuting.
