Best for: Built as a versatile do-it-all machine, equally happy commuting, carving backroads, or loading up for a multi-day tour.
Built for: A grounded, torque-rich parallel-twin allrounder with a Deltabox frame that rewards confident, relaxed cornering over outright aggression.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders chasing track-day lap times or serious off-road capability, as its road-biased tyres and modest ground clearance limit rough terrain use.
