How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for track days and high-speed sport riding, with road use very much a secondary consideration.
- Built for
- A razor-sharp, high-revving in-line four that rewards precise inputs and aggressive riding with blistering acceleration and pinpoint cornering ability.
- Not ideal for
- This is not a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up travel.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
