How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a low-volume, premium roadster for spirited backroad carving and standout street presence rather than outright track lap times or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a hand-built European café racer: raw, mechanical, torque-rich, and dripping with boutique details like Ceriani forks and a belt final drive.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for new riders, off-road use, pillion-heavy touring, or anyone wanting mainstream parts availability and dealer support.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
