Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimensioned motorcycle at low speeds and in traffic. |
| Purpose | Built as a full-dress luxury touring machine designed to cover long highway distances in maximum comfort for rider and passenger. |
| Rider Fit | Its substantial weight and tall bulk mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find slow-speed maneuvering, U-turns, and parking demanding. |
| Character | A stately, smooth-running in-line four with shaft drive that delivers relaxed, effortless cruising rather than sporty thrills. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable bike for tight canyon roads or any kind of off-road use. |
