How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed primarily as a sporty commuter for city streets and short spirited rides rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Offers a nimble, flickable feel with sharp styling that gives an aggressive naked-bike attitude despite its small-displacement single-cylinder heart.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking high-speed highway touring, off-road capability, or two-up long-distance comfort.
