How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for aggressive cornering, supermoto-style street attack, and tight technical riding rather than long-distance travel.
- Built for
- A raw, punchy big-bore single with sharp handling, strong midrange torque, and an aggressive, minimalist supermoto personality.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking plush comfort, pillion capability, or relaxed long-haul touring.
