Rider Profile
| Best For | A good fit for newer riders or those stepping up from smaller commuter bikes, thanks to its light weight and modest power. |
| Purpose | Designed as a lightweight sport-touring machine for mixed road use rather than long-distance highway cruising or serious performance riding. |
| Rider Fit | Its low weight of around 143 kg and compact dimensions make it easy to handle for riders of most sizes and shorter inseams. |
| Character | A nimble, small-displacement two-stroke single with a playful, revvy nature suited to twisty backroads and city streets. |
| Not Ideal For | Not suited for riders seeking high-speed touring, heavy passenger and luggage loads, or serious off-road capability. |
