Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a punchy V-twin with sharp, immediate responses. |
| Purpose | Built for aggressive supermoto-style riding, carving corners and attacking twisty roads rather than covering long distances. |
| Rider Fit | Tall 870 mm seat height and a light, narrow chassis favor taller or more confident riders comfortable with a top-heavy stance at stops. |
| Character | A raw, high-revving hooligan bike with razor-sharp handling, strong midrange torque, and a naked-bike aesthetic that rewards an assertive riding style. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders seeking plush comfort, long-haul touring range, or a forgiving, low-effort commuter experience. |
