Best for
Built for high-speed, long-distance sport touring where outright performance matters as much as comfort - the sportiest of the big shaft-drive tourers, sharing engine heritage with Kawasaki's ZX-14R Ninja.
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.
