How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a limited-edition showpiece and performance naked bike, it's meant for spirited road riding and being admired as much as ridden hard.
- Built for

- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for new riders, off-road use, budget-conscious buyers, or anyone wanting an easy, low-maintenance daily commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
