How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A versatile retro-styled roadster built primarily for spirited city riding, weekend backroad fun, and light café-racer style cruising rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Offers a charismatic, torquey CP2 twin-cylinder feel with agile, flickable handling that encourages playful riding over raw straight-line performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not the ideal choice for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, long highway range, or any genuine off-road capability.
