Best for: It's built as a sporty allround adventure-tourer, equally at home carving twisty roads and covering long distances with occasional light off-road use.
Built for: The Bialbero V-twin and premium Marzocchi and Ohlins suspension give it a spirited, high-quality feel with strong low-to-mid range torque and sharp handling for its class.
Not ideal for: It's not the right choice for a rider seeking a plush, low-slung cruiser or a hardcore dirt-focused off-road machine.
