Best for: Built primarily for spirited sport riding and weekend twisty-road fun, with enough manners to double as a daily commuter.
Built for: A punchy 270-degree crank parallel-twin gives it a characterful, torque-rich growl and midrange feel similar to a V-twin, paired with modern electronics and a quick-shifter for engaging, confidence-inspiring performance.
Not ideal for: Not the best choice for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, serious pillion accommodation, or any off-road capability.
