How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for sharp, aggressive cornering and supermotard-style thrills on twisty tarmac and occasional light off-road excursions rather than outright top speed.
- Built for
- A raw, stripped-down street weapon that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style with immediate throttle response and razor-sharp handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, those seeking comfort on long distances, or anyone needing to regularly carry a passenger or luggage.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
