Best for: Built as a 1990s flagship sportbike, it's meant for fast road riding and spirited cornering rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Built for: The triple-cylinder engine gives it a distinctive growl and a blend of torquey punch and top-end rush that feels more characterful than typical four-cylinder rivals of its era.
Not ideal for: This isn't the right bike for new riders seeking a relaxed upright stance or for anyone wanting genuine off-road capability or plush two-up touring comfort.
