Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders with at least some experience on tall, lightweight singles, since the narrow tyres and firm suspension reward confident, active riding. |
| Purpose | Designed as a big-bore enduro-style machine for mixed on- and off-road use rather than sustained highway travel or outright speed. |
| Rider Fit | Its slim 160 kg chassis and enduro-style seat height suit riders who are comfortable standing on pegs and shifting weight, but shorter riders may find the seat tall. |
| Character | A characterful, torquey air-cooled single that feels light, flickable and eager on twisty or loose surfaces, with a distinctive thumping engine feel. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting sustained high-speed motorway comfort, passenger touring, or modern refinement and smoothness. |
