Best for: It's built for relaxed, long-distance touring and highway cruising rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Built for: The V4 engine and shaft drive give it a smooth, torquey, low-maintenance character suited to unhurried mile-munching rather than aggressive acceleration.
Not ideal for: This is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight nimble city runabout.
