Quick take
"A powerful, smooth supersport built for speed and precision — incredible on the right roads, but demanding and not designed for everyday comfort"
Personal notes
This bike feels incredible in the right environment The smoothness stands out immediately — especially compared to a V-twin. The power delivery is strong but predictable, which makes such a high-performance bike feel more controlled than expected But it’s very clear what this bike is built for. It comes alive on open roads and big sweeping corners — that’s where it feels natural Outside of that, it can feel like a lot. The riding position is demanding, and it’s not the kind of bike you just casually ride around all day without feeling it in your body
What I loved
- Extremely smooth engine and clutch feel
- Inline-four delivers predictable, controlled power
- Less twitchy and more refined compared to a V-twin
- Very fast in straight lines — serious performance
- Strong, confidence-inspiring power delivery
- Modern electronics without feeling overwhelming
What felt challenging
- Big, heavy bike — not ideal for city or rough roads
- Designed for racetrack and sweeping corners rather than everyday riding
- Generates noticeable heat in warmer weather or traffic
- Aggressive riding position — physically demanding
- Can cause discomfort in hips, legs, and feet on longer rides
Who this bike suits
- Experienced riders wanting high performance and precision
- Riders who enjoy fast, open roads or track riding
- Those comfortable with an aggressive riding position
Who it might not suit
- Beginners or less confident riders
- Riders wanting comfort or everyday usability
- Those mainly riding in traffic or rough road conditions
