Rider Profile

Best ForApproachable for intermediate riders; the restricted 50hp output and easygoing L-twin make it manageable for newer riders stepping up too.
PurposeA 1980s sport-touring standard for relaxed back-road rides and light touring, blending Ducati-derived desmo V-twin charm with everyday usability.
Rider FitModerate 207kg wet weight with a fairly neutral, upright-to-sporty riding position on 18-inch wheels; comfortable ergonomics for longer stints.
CharacterCharismatic air-cooled desmo 90° V-twin with warm, torquey character and Italian flair; refined and characterful rather than outright fast.
Not Ideal ForNot for track-day speed seekers, off-road use, or riders wanting big power - the reduced-effect 50hp tune limits top-end punch.
