How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built as a versatile sport-naked, equally happy carving twisty backroads as commuting through city traffic.
- Built for
- The big V2 engine gives it a characterful, pulsing feel with strong midrange punch rather than a screaming top-end rush.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger.
