Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some experience on tall, torque-light dual-purpose machines, as the air-cooled V2 and 21-inch front wheel demand deliberate rather than aggressive inputs.
Purpose	Designed as a rugged, go-anywhere adventure-tourer in the classic Paris-Dakar mold, prioritizing versatility over outright speed or refinement.
Rider Fit	The tall seat height and 21-inch front wheel typical of this class favor taller riders and reward confident, upright riding posture over long stints.
Character	A characterful, desmodromic V-twin with a rally-bred, unpretentious personality that rewards mechanical sympathy and a relaxed pace.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking outright speed, modern refinement, or a plush two-up touring experience.
