Best for: It's built for zipping through city streets and messing around on tight, twisty backroads rather than covering long distances or carrying speed.
Built for: It has the playful, flickable supermoto personality with sharp handling but very modest performance from its small single-cylinder engine.
Not ideal for: It's not for riders wanting sustained highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or serious two-up riding.
