How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A do-it-all middleweight sportbike that blends everyday usability with a genuine inline-four character and sporty handling.
- Built for
- Smooth, revvy, and eager, with the smooth linear pull typical of a small-displacement inline four rather than the punchy torque of a twin.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger and luggage.
