Best for
A modern retro roadster built for engaging back-road riding, café-style commuting, and weekend blasts rather than any single specialized discipline.
Built for
Delivers a torquey, characterful parallel-twin growl with agile handling, sharp Brembo brakes, and a satisfying blend of classic looks and modern componentry.
Not ideal for
Not ideal for long-distance touring in stock form or any off-road use, given its street-only tires, limited wind protection, and road-focused suspension.
