How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a heritage-styled naked roadster for spirited street riding, weekend backroad carving, and café-racer style presence rather than outright touring or track use.
- Built for
- Delivers torquey, characterful boxer power with shaft-drive simplicity and a raw, mechanical feel that rewards engaged, involved riding over long-distance comfort.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, wind protection for long highway hauls, or a plush two-up touring experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
