Best for: Built as a muscular naked roadster, it excels at spirited street riding and boulevard presence rather than track lap times.
Built for: The shaft-driven, air/oil-cooled transverse V-twin gives it a raw, mechanical, old-school Italian personality full of torque and shaft-drive quirks like driveline lurch under throttle.
Not ideal for: It is not the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable machine or one that can handle any unpaved or off-road terrain.
