Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who understand high power-to-weight ratios and can handle a supermotard's sharp, unforgiving nature.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad carving, supermoto track days, and anyone who wants dirt-bike agility with real street performance.
Rider FitThe tall 910mm seat height and minimal wind protection demand decent leg length and a tolerance for physical engagement over long rides.
CharacterA raw, lightweight V-twin brute that rewards commitment with explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling, but punishes hesitation and poor roads with a stiff, focused ride.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking comfort, passenger-friendliness, or effortless long-distance touring.
