How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A versatile naked roadster built for spirited street riding, commuting, and learning proper cornering technique rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Playful, torquey V-twin character with predictable handling that rewards smooth, aggressive cornering over straight-line drag racing.
- Not ideal for
- Not the best choice for riders wanting serious highway touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or any off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
