How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as an aggressive naked sport bike, it excels at fast, twisty road riding and spirited cornering rather than commuting or long-distance cruising.
- Built for
- It has the character of a raw, boutique Italian sportbike, exotic, torque-rich, and focused on visceral rider engagement over refinement.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for new riders, pillion-focused use, or anyone seeking a plush, wind-protected long-distance tourer.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
