Rider Profile
| Best For | This is an unconventional, car-tired, shaft-driven machine that demands an experienced rider comfortable with unusual handling dynamics rather than a novice. |
| Purpose | Built as a high-powered, four-wheeled-tire allrounder blending strong straight-line performance with unique stability, more suited to sweeping roads and boulevard presence than tight technical riding. |
| Rider Fit | At nearly 400 kg dry with a wide stance and car-like tires, it requires real physical strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering. |
| Character | A bold, engineering-driven curiosity that trades classic motorcycle cornering feel for four-wheeler-inspired grip and a strong in-line four soundtrack. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for riders seeking light, flickable handling, off-road capability, or a conventional two-wheel cornering experience. |
