How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day performance, with the 636cc engine giving stronger midrange than a typical 600.
- Built for
- A precise, revvy in-line four supersport that rewards aggressive throttle inputs and confident cornering lines.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting an upright, relaxed commuter or long-distance tourer, or for any off-road use.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
