Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a punchy, torquey V-twin and a tall, top-heavy supermoto stance. |
| Purpose | Built for aggressive backroad carving, tight urban attack, and thrilling cornering rather than covering long distances or hauling gear. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 870mm seat height and light 186kg dry weight favor taller or more athletic riders who can flick the bike around confidently. |
| Character | A raw, playful hooligan machine that rewards an active riding style with sharp steering and strong midrange punch from its 90hp V90 twin. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, wind protection, or serious off-road capability. |
