How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a hyper sport-tourer, it excels at devouring long highway distances at high speed while still offering genuine sport performance when asked.
- Built for
- It has the personality of a effortless, brutally fast shaft-driven cruiser-missile, smoothing out big miles with turbine-like refinence and huge in-gear torque.
- Not ideal for
- It is not the right choice for new riders, off-road use, tight urban commuting, or anyone wanting a light, flickable city bike.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
