How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built primarily for everyday commuting and spirited backroad riding rather than outright speed or long-distance hauling.
- Built for
- The V-twin engine and lightweight frame give it a playful, nimble personality that rewards flicking through corners.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability or a dedicated highway touring machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
