Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who appreciate a light, precise supermoto rather than outright horsepower.
PurposeBuilt for flickable, aggressive road-going fun on twisty tarmac and urban cut-and-thrust, with light off-road capability rather than serious touring.
Rider FitIts tall seat height, narrow chassis, and featherweight 125.5kg build suit shorter journeys and favor agile, physically engaged riders over long-haul comfort seekers.
CharacterA quirky, boutique British supermoto that rewards spirited riding with sharp handling, premium WP suspension, and strong brakes rather than raw top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders wanting high-speed motorway touring, plush two-up comfort, or big-bike stability at speed.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
