Rider Profile
| Best For | This machine demands a confident, experienced rider used to managing enormous torque and a very unconventional three-wheeled chassis rather than typical motorcycle handling. |
| Purpose | Built as a novelty V8 muscle trike for straight-line thrills, boulevard cruising, and drawing a crowd rather than for cornering performance or utility. |
| Rider Fit | Its long wheelbase, wide rear track, and nearly 700 kg mass mean low-speed maneuvering and parking require real physical effort and planning ahead. |
| Character | A brash, high-torque automotive-engine spectacle that trades agility and lean-in cornering for outrageous acceleration and unmistakable presence. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the machine for riders wanting light, flickable handling, off-road capability, or a discreet, easy-to-store daily commuter. |
