Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders who already have some experience with a quick-revving, inline-four naked bike rather than absolute beginners. |
| Purpose | Designed as an aggressive, sporty naked bike for spirited road riding and occasional weekend track days rather than long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | A moderately heavy machine at around 220 kg wet, so riders benefit from decent strength and confidence when maneuvering it at low speed. |
| Character | Delivers a revvy, high-strung inline-four character with strong top-end power and sharp, direct handling typical of Italian-flavored naked sportbikes. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders seeking a plush, wind-protected long-distance tourer or anyone planning to venture off-road. |
