Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who enjoy a punchy, torquey V-twin with a supermotard's sharp reflexes. |
| Purpose | Built for aggressive backroad carving, tight canyon corners, and urban hooliganism rather than long-distance cruising. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 870mm seat height and top-heavy, upright stance favor taller riders comfortable with a firm, sporty riding position. |
| Character | A raw, high-strung supermoto with V-twin punch, razor-sharp steering geometry, and minimal wind protection that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for riders seeking plush comfort, wind protection, or a relaxed two-up touring platform. |
