Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some two-stroke and lightweight-bike experience, since the peaky small-capacity engine and tall, narrow chassis reward an active riding style rather than forgiving novice handling.
PurposeThis is a nimble, flickable supermotard built for tight urban streets, sharp cornering fun, and light off-road excursions rather than outright speed or distance covered.
Rider FitThe tall 900 mm seat height and minimal dry weight of around 101 kg favor taller or more agile riders who can comfortably tiptoe and muscle the bike through low-speed maneuvers.
CharacterA playful, mischievous city scalpel that thrives on quick direction changes, wheelies, and darting through traffic rather than settling into long, relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sustained highway speeds, long-distance comfort, or a passenger-friendly, plush-riding motorcycle.
