Our verdict
The muscle roadster in its purest form: a 2,458cc triple, the biggest production motorcycle engine on sale, delivering surreal 225 Nm shove with genuine handling and Brembo Stylema stoppers, absurd, addictive and unlike anything else.
Pros

- Handles and stops far better than its size suggests
- Unmatched presence and low-rev drama
Cons
- Heavy at 317 kg
