How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily as a rugged, no-frills dual-sport for trail riding, green-laning, and light adventure use rather than outright speed or highway cruising.
- Built for
- A simple, durable, air-cooled single with carburetor-fed power delivery that rewards patient, mechanically-sympathetic riders over those chasing outright performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting fast highway cruising, plush long-distance comfort, or a passenger-friendly touring companion.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
