How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- This machine suits riders who want relaxed, long-distance cruising and boulevard-style presence more than outright sport performance.
- Built for
- It has the character of an early-80s Japanese sport tourer with custom styling cues, offering smooth, torquey power delivery and understated shaft-drive reliability rather than razor-sharp agility.
- Not ideal for
- It is not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
