How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A versatile naked roadster built for lively commuting, weekend backroad fun, and light sport riding rather than outright performance or adventure use.
- Built for
- Playful, torquey, and eager, the CP2 twin gives it a characterful growl and easy midrange punch that makes everyday roads feel engaging.
- Not ideal for
- Not ideal for riders wanting long-distance touring comfort, serious off-road capability, or top-tier track performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to usBased on the maker's published fuel consumption and tank size. Official figures come from a gentle lab test - most riders use 10-30% more fuel than this, so expect less range in real riding, and the last litres of a tank are reserve.
