How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a big-bore, do-it-all machine that blends relaxed sport-touring comfort with usable everyday performance from its torquey in-line four.
- Built for
- A muscular, unpretentious all-rounder that favors smooth, confident torque delivery over razor-sharp aggression.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good match for new riders or anyone seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight technical corners or off-road use.
