How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for high speed, long distance sport touring where comfort, wind protection, and shaft-drive reliability matter more than outright agility.
- Built for
- A powerful, refined, shaft-driven mile-eater that blends sport-bike engine performance with touring comfort, weather protection, and shaft-drive low maintenance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight city commuting.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
