How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built primarily for spirited road riding and weekend cornering rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- The 90-degree V-twin gives it a distinctive torquey pulse and sporty character quite different from typical four-cylinder sportbikes in its class.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for off-road use, new riders wanting a light beginner bike, or anyone prioritizing plush comfort on long tours.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
