Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with an aggressive, high-strung sportbike and its demanding riding position. |
| Purpose | Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day performance rather than practical transportation. |
| Rider Fit | Expect a committed, wrists-and-shoulders-forward crouch with rearset pegs that will strain the back, wrists, and neck on long rides. |
| Character | A raw, visceral Italian V-twin superbike prized for its razor-sharp handling, iconic styling, and analog, mechanical feel. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for new riders, commuters, tall or long-distance touring riders, or anyone seeking upright comfort and passenger-friendly practicality. |
