Rider Profile
| Best For | Ideal for beginners and A1 licence holders; a forgiving, learner-friendly sportbike that also rewards experienced riders honing technique. |
| Purpose | A pint-sized track-styled sportbike built for spirited backroad riding, carving corners, commuting, and learning proper sport riding skills. |
| Rider Fit | Light 144kg with a committed sport riding position: clip-on bars, 820mm seat and rear-set pegs. Compact and manageable but leaning-forward and firm. |
| Character | A miniature superbike with real GP-inspired attitude - eager, revvy single that must be worked hard, delivering big-bike thrills at modest speeds. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for those wanting outright speed, relaxed touring comfort, two-up practicality, off-road use, or a laid-back upright commuter. |
