Best for
It's built for spirited weekend rides and twisty backroads where classic styling and precise handling matter more than outright top-end speed.
Built for
It has the soul of a retro Italian sports bike: a torquey air-cooled desmodromic V-twin, trellis frame agility, and understated but purposeful styling.
Not ideal for
It's not the right choice for someone wanting plush long-distance touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any kind of off-road capability.
