Best for: It's built for effortless high-speed cruising and devastating roll-on acceleration, blending brute performance with long-distance comfort.
Built for: A muscular, unapologetic hyper-sport bike that trades outright track agility for a relaxed, torque-laden riding experience.
Not ideal for: It's not for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.
