Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to an intermediate or experienced rider comfortable with a torquey, characterful V-twin that rewards deliberate throttle input.
PurposeA sport-adventure crossover built for twisty backroads and light adventure touring rather than serious offroad work or outright top-speed chasing.
Rider FitIts light-for-class mass, low center of gravity, and street-oriented 17-inch wheel setup make it manageable for riders of moderate strength and experience.
CharacterDelivers a gruff, high-torque Harley-derived V-twin personality wrapped in an unusually agile, mass-centralized aluminum chassis with quirky Buell engineering touches like the perimeter brake rotor and frame-mounted fuel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting genuine off-road capability, plush long-distance comfort, or a smooth high-rev sportbike feel.
