- Built for
- A razor-sharp, high-revving in-line four superbike that rewards precise inputs with explosive acceleration and razor-quick handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, tall touring distances, two-up comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed, upright commuting experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
