How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for spirited backroad blasts, canyon carving, and occasional track days rather than covering long distances or hauling gear.
- Built for
- A raw, exotic, and characterful Italian machine with a snarling triple engine, exclusive limited-edition styling, and an innovative automatic clutch that blends visceral performance with everyday clutch-free convenience.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking a comfortable long-distance tourer, a relaxed commuter, or anyone wanting off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
