Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders, since the tall seat height and considerable weight demand confidence at low speed and off-road.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance, go-anywhere adventure touring across varied terrain including gravel, dirt, and highway.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably tall and physically fit, as the 895mm seat height and 223kg dry weight make managing the bike at a standstill or in technical off-road sections demanding.
CharacterA rugged, versatile go-anywhere machine that blends boxer-twin torque with genuine off-road capability and long-haul comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, novices, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight urban streets or track days.
