How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a road-legal supermoto for attacking twisty tarmac and track days rather than for commuting or long-distance travel.
- Built for
- A raw, race-derived V-twin supermoto that rewards aggressive, precise inputs with razor-sharp handling and explosive acceleration for its size.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting plush comfort, pillion capability, or a relaxed, low-maintenance everyday ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
