How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A budget-friendly naked V-twin aimed at everyday commuting and casual weekend riding rather than outright performance.
- Built for
- The V-twin engine gives it a slightly more characterful exhaust note and torque feel than a typical parallel-twin or single in this class, without being fast.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking strong highway overtaking power, serious long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
