How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for aggressive backroad blasts and trackday-style cornering thrills rather than practical transportation.
- Built for
- A snarling, high-revving triple with race-bred electronics and aggressive naked-bike styling that rewards commitment with ferocious acceleration and razor-edge handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking plush comfort, long-distance touring ease, or any kind of off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
