How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's designed primarily as an around-town commuter and learner-friendly naked bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
- Built for
- The V2 engine layout and carbureted DOHC setup give it a slightly quirky, characterful feel compared to typical single-cylinder small bikes in its class.
- Not ideal for
- It is not the right choice for riders seeking high-speed touring, off-road capability, or serious cornering performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
