Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience on tall, lightweight singles, since the narrow tyres and firm suspension reward confident, active riding.
PurposeDesigned as a big-bore enduro-style machine for mixed on- and off-road use rather than sustained highway travel or outright speed.
Rider FitIts 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.
CharacterA characterful, torquey air-cooled single that feels light, flickable and eager on twisty or loose surfaces, with a distinctive thumping engine feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sustained high-speed motorway comfort, passenger touring, or modern refinement and smoothness.
