How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for aggressive sport riding, canyon carving, and thrilling backroad blasts rather than utility or distance work.
- Built for
- A raw, muscular naked bike with a screaming inline-four heart, Italian styling flair, and a temperament that rewards confident, committed inputs.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for new riders, those seeking plush comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring with a passenger.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
