How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built primarily as a sport-touring roadster, excelling on twisty roads with strong midrange drive rather than outright top-end drama.
- Built for
- The V2 engine gives a characterful, torque-rich pulse and distinct exhaust note that sets it apart from inline-four sportbikes of its era.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for off-road riders, complete beginners, or those seeking a plush long-distance touring experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
