Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a tall, top-heavy, quick-steering machine that punishes hesitation. |
| Purpose | Built for aggressive backroad carving, supermoto-style cornering antics, and urban hooliganism rather than covering long distances. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 845mm seat height and light 179kg dry weight favor taller or more confident riders who can flick the bike around with their legs and body weight. |
| Character | A raw, torquey V-twin street brawler that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style with razor-sharp handling and minimal creature comforts. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for beginners, shorter riders, or anyone wanting a plush, wind-protected mount for two-up highway touring. |
