Best for: Built as a supermoto, it excels at flickable, aggressive cornering on tight tarmac roads and track days rather than covering long distances.
Built for: It rewards a playful, aggressive riding style with sharp throttle response, strong brakes, and razor-quick handling at the expense of outright comfort.
Not ideal for: This is not the right choice for riders seeking a plush, stable long-distance tourer or a relaxed, low-maintenance daily commuter.
