How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Aggressive street naked built for spirited backroad blasts, canyon carving and confident urban riding with a big-bore punch.
- Built for
- Muscular, hooligan super-naked with a howling inline-four, sharp styling and eager throttle. Refined yet raw and full of attitude.
- Not ideal for
- Not for beginners, dedicated long-haul tourers wanting wind protection, or anyone seeking off-road ability or a laid-back cruiser.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
