Best for: Built as a do-it-all sport tourer, equally happy carving a backroad on a weekend and swallowing long highway miles with a pillion and luggage.
Built for: A classic, unpretentious in-line four with carburettors and air cooling that rewards smooth throttle inputs with dependable, linear power delivery rather than aggressive top-end rush.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking cutting-edge sportbike performance, off-road capability, or the latest fuel-injected electronics package.
