Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate or experienced riders who are comfortable with a torquey V-twin, sharp handling, and a bike that demands active input. |
| Purpose | Built for spirited backroad riding and twisty tarmac, blending naked-bike aggression with premium Ohlins suspension for serious cornering performance. |
| Rider Fit | The 810mm seat height and lightweight 168kg dry weight make it manageable, but the firm sporty suspension and forward-leaning stance suit riders with reasonable fitness and confidence at speed. |
| Character | A raw, characterful Italian roadster that rewards precise inputs with agile, planted handling and a distinctive desmodromic V-twin growl. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for new riders seeking a forgiving first bike or for long-distance touring riders wanting wind protection and plush all-day comfort. |
