Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider who appreciates classic mechanical character over modern performance.
PurposeBuilt 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 FitAt 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.
CharacterIt rewards riders who value engineering novelty and smooth multi-cylinder power delivery over outright agility or modern handling.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone seeking nimble, lightweight handling in tight corners.
