Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, since the tall supermotard stance and punchy single-cylinder power delivery reward confident throttle control.
PurposeDesigned as a road-going supermotard, blending dirt-bike agility with street tires for sharp, flickable riding on twisty tarmac and urban streets.
Rider FitExpect a tall seat height and narrow, lightweight chassis that favors shorter, sportier rides over long hours in the saddle.
CharacterA characterful, single-cylinder machine with a thumping engine feel, quick steering, and a playful, stripped-down attitude typical of early-90s supermotards.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for riders wanting a plush, wind-protected machine for long-distance touring or two-up travel.
