Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits an experienced rider who appreciates classic mechanical character over modern performance. |
| Purpose | Built as a prestige sport-tourer of its era, it's best suited for spirited road riding and showing off its exotic in-line six engine. |
| Rider Fit | At 231 kg with a fairly tall and wide feel from the six-cylinder engine, it demands a confident, physically capable rider especially at low speeds. |
| Character | It rewards riders who value engineering novelty and smooth multi-cylinder power delivery over outright agility or modern handling. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone seeking nimble, lightweight handling in tight corners. |
