Best for
Built as a boutique, performance-focused naked bike, it's meant for spirited road riding and carving corners rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Built for
Expect a raw, torquey, and characterful ride from the big-bore V2 engine, with flatslide carburetion giving it a visceral, mechanical feel and belt-drive smoothness.
Not ideal for
This is not the bike for riders seeking plush touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any kind of off-road capability.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
