How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for long-distance overland adventure touring, blending genuine off-road capability with the ability to cover big miles on the road.
- Built for
- A rugged, torquey V-twin adventure icon that rewards a relaxed, go-anywhere riding style over outright speed or sharp handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking sportbike acceleration, razor-sharp cornering agility, or a low, easy-to-handle city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
