How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Best used as a simple, affordable commuter or around-town runabout rather than a performance or adventure machine.
- Built for
- A no-frills, air-cooled single-cylinder naked bike that favors simplicity, light weight, and easy low-speed maneuverability over outright performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good match for riders wanting sustained high-speed touring, serious off-road capability, or two-up comfort over long distances.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
