How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for

- Built for
- It offers modest, unhurried performance with easygoing, forgiving manners typical of an entry-level single-cylinder machine.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for riders wanting highway touring capability, a passenger-friendly setup, or any kind of spirited or off-road riding.
