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