- Built for
- A friendly, revvy parallel-twin street bike that rewards playful riding in town and on twisty backroads without being intimidating.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders wanting serious highway touring comfort, passenger-friendly long trips, or any genuine off-road capability.
