How it rides

- Built for

- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or those wanting a plush, long-distance touring machine.

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.
