Best for: Built primarily as a versatile adventure-touring bike that handles mixed on-road and light off-road duty with ease.
Built for: A refined, torquey triple-cylinder engine gives it a smooth, characterful power delivery that rewards relaxed, confident riding over outright aggression.
Not ideal for: Not ideal for riders seeking a lightweight city runabout or a track-focused sportbike, as its size and touring focus work against sharp, quick handling.
