How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A versatile all-rounder for commuting, weekend blasts and light touring. The half-fairing adds wind protection for longer rides.

- Not ideal for
- Not for riders chasing sportbike outright speed or track dominance, nor anyone wanting off-road capability or hardcore long-haul touring luxury.
