Best for
Built as a retro-styled cafe racer, it's meant for spirited backroad riding and boulevard cruising rather than track domination or commuting drudgery.
Built for
The transverse V-twin delivers characterful torque and shaft-drive shudder, rewarding a relaxed, feel-based riding style over aggressive rev-chasing.
Not ideal for
This is not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight flickable commuter, a high-revving sportbike, or any kind of off-road capability.
