How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a naked streetfighter for spirited road riding, twisty backroads, and daily commuting rather than outright top-speed chasing or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Raw, mechanical, and full of Italian charm, with strong midrange torque, sharp steering geometry, and an air-cooled Desmodromic engine that demands engagement from the rider.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders seeking a forgiving first bike, pillions wanting plush comfort, or anyone planning serious off-road or multi-day touring use.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
