How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed primarily as a nimble, stylish commuter and street bike for urban riding and light weekend fun.
- Built for
- A sporty, aggressive-looking naked bike that rewards revving the small single-cylinder engine and flicking it through corners rather than chasing outright speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting highway touring comfort, sustained high-speed cruising, or two-up long-distance travel.
