How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed primarily as an affordable, muscular-looking commuter and city runabout rather than a performance machine.
- Built for
- Has a naked-streetfighter-style stance with a torquey low-end feel typical of small-displacement single-cylinder engines, favoring relaxed, upright commuting over outright speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for highway touring, two-up long journeys, or riders seeking strong high-speed performance or off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
