How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a versatile all-round naked-turned-faired commuter and light tourer rather than a track or performance weapon.
- Built for
- A smooth-revving inline-four with a peaky top-end feel, wrapped in practical, easygoing all-rounder styling with a small protective fairing.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability, aggressive sportbike performance, or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger and luggage.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
