How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for high-speed highway blasts, drag-style acceleration, and long straight-road dominance rather than tight technical carving.
- Built for
- A big-bore, in-line four hyper-sport tourer that blends brutal straight-line speed with surprising comfort for a bike of its performance class.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight city streets.
