Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing a tall, heavy 243kg machine; not ideal as a first bike.
Purpose	A do-it-all standard built for relaxed distance riding, commuting and two-up touring with its smooth shaft drive and big 21L tank.
Rider Fit	Upright naked ergonomics with a broad seat; hefty wet weight and low-slung longitudinal 'flying brick' four give planted, stable feel.
Character	The iconic BMW 'flying brick' - smooth, torquey, unburstable and refined, prizing effortless long-haul competence over sporty aggression.
Not Ideal For	Not for off-road use, tight-carving sportbike thrills, or riders wanting a light, flickable city machine.
