Rider Profile

Best ForSuits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, powerful in-line four that rewards smooth inputs.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly in comfort, blending sporty performance with a more upright, touring-friendly riding position.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 235kg dry weight make it manageable for most adult riders but demand reasonable strength at low speed and standstill.
CharacterA muscular, fast sport-tourer with strong midrange torque and stable high-speed manners rather than a razor-sharp track weapon.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for new riders seeking a light, forgiving bike or for anyone wanting a dedicated off-road or ultra-nimble city commuter.
