How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily as a rugged single-cylinder dual-sport for trail riding, exploring backroads, and light overland travel rather than outright speed or refinement.
- Built for
- A no-nonsense, mechanically simple workhorse that rewards patience and skill with genuine go-anywhere capability.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp acceleration, high top speed, plush comfort, or a low, easy-reach seat height.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
