Best for
It's built for short urban hops, playful commuting, and general messing around rather than any serious performance riding.
Built for
It has a cheeky, scooter-like street-fighter styling with a peppy little single-cylinder engine that rewards revving rather than outright speed.
Not ideal for
It's not for highway commuting, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger any real distance, or anyone seeking genuine sport-bike performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
