Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for experienced, technically skilled riders who understand the quirks of a hub-center steering front end. |
| Purpose | Built for precision cornering and exotic engineering showcase riding rather than outright top-speed bragging rights. |
| Rider Fit | The low, committed sportbike stance and light 167kg dry weight demand an active, fit rider comfortable with aggressive ergonomics. |
| Character | A boutique Italian exotic that rewards deliberate, smooth inputs and offers a totally unique front-end feel unlike any conventional telescopic fork bike. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not suited to new riders, daily commuters, pillion-focused riders, or anyone seeking touring comfort or off-road capability. |
