How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as an unfaired streetfighter for spirited road riding and daily use rather than outright track dominance or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Offers a classic naked-bike feel with a smooth, revvy inline-four engine, sharp handling, and an upright, engaging riding stance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good match for riders seeking off-road capability, heavy touring comfort, or the outright top-end power of a fully faired supersport.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
