How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for spirited backroad riding, canyon carving, and urban commuting rather than long-haul touring or off-road use.
- Built for
- A punchy, torque-rich inline-triple with a raw, retro-styled naked bike attitude that feels eager and engaging at any speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking wind protection, plush long-distance comfort, or genuine off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
