How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A sport-touring flagship that blends serious high-speed performance with a slightly more usable, less extreme riding position than a pure supersport bike.
- Built for
- Feels like a muscular, fast, and stable sport bike that rewards confident inputs with strong drive out of corners and a solid high-speed feel.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for beginners, off-road use, or riders wanting a plush, upright, low-effort commuting experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
