How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a small-displacement supersport, it's designed for spirited backroad riding and track days rather than utility or commuting.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a miniature superbike, revving to nearly 15,000 rpm with a screaming inline-four soundtrack and razor-sharp handling manners.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for riders wanting long-distance comfort, pillion practicality, or low-rpm, relaxed everyday usability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
