Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for intermediate to experienced riders; the punchy 90hp V-twin and tall seat reward confident hands and aren't ideal as a first bike. |
| Purpose | Street supermoto built for hooligan fun - carving city streets, backroad corners and stoplight sprints with playful, wheelie-happy character. |
| Rider Fit | Tall 870mm seat, wide bars, upright motard stance and slim body. Light 190kg dry weight makes it flickable, but the height suits taller riders. |
| Character | Aggressive, energetic and full of attitude - the torquey 90° V-twin delivers instant grunt and a raucous, engaging ride begging for mischief. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for tourers, two-up comfort seekers or beginners; the tiny 12L tank, firm seat and high stance make long hauls and passengers a chore. |
