Best for: Built as a nearly street-illegal track weapon, its purpose is pure lap-time performance rather than practical transportation.
Built for: An exotic, hand-built superbike defined by an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, exotic carbon and titanium construction, and Ohlins-tuned precision handling.
Not ideal for: This is not a bike for commuting, touring, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or forgiving low-speed manners.
