Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who can manage a powerful, quick-reacting naked with premium suspension components.
Purpose	Built primarily as a high-performance street and canyon-carving naked bike with genuine track-day capability thanks to its Brembo Stylema and Öhlins hardware.
Rider Fit	The 465-pound wet weight combined with a 31.9-inch seat height demands a rider of average to above-average height and reasonable strength for confident low-speed handling.
Character	It has the character of a sharp, aggressive inline-four streetfighter that rewards an active riding style and spirited throttle use.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right choice for beginners, riders seeking a relaxed long-distance tourer, or anyone wanting off-road capability.
