Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable with a tall, lightweight, supermoto-style machine that responds sharply to inputs.
PurposeBuilt for supermoto-style thrills, tight cornering, and mixed tarmac-and-dirt riding rather than outright top speed or distance touring.
Rider FitThe tall 918 mm seat height and minimal bodywork demand good rider fitness, leg reach, and comfort standing on the pegs.
CharacterA sharp, lightweight, high-revving V-twin supermoto with race-derived chassis components designed to feel playful and precise rather than plush.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a comfortable, long-distance tourer or a low, beginner-friendly commuter.
