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.
