How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Best suited to urban commuting and spirited backroad riding where quick, silent acceleration and easy low-speed control matter more than outright top speed or range.
- Built for
- A quiet, torquey, tech-forward machine that feels like a nimble supermoto crossed with an ADV, rewarding smooth, confident throttle inputs over aggressive shifting or high-rev theatrics.
- Not ideal for
- Not ideal for long-distance highway touring or two-up trips, since real-world range drops significantly at highway speeds and passenger accommodations are modest.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
