Rider Profile
| Best For | Suited to intermediate and experienced riders who appreciate a raw, mechanical twin; not ideal as a first bike due to its sporty focus. |
| Purpose | A classic air-cooled supersport built for spirited backroad blasts and canyon carving, rewarding smooth, committed riding over commuting. |
| Rider Fit | Clip-on bars and rear-set pegs give a forward-leaning stance; low 780mm seat and light 186kg dry weight make it manageable yet sporty. |
| Character | Torquey, characterful desmo L-twin with soulful air-cooled charm, a slim trellis-framed chassis and razor-sharp steering that begs to lean. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for tourers, two-up loaders, or riders wanting off-road ability or plush all-day comfort. |
