Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders who have some experience with high-revving small-displacement sportbikes and enjoy working an engine hard to extract performance. |
| Purpose | Designed primarily for spirited sport riding and twisty backroads rather than raw top-end speed or long-distance travel. |
| Rider Fit | A lightweight, compact 400cc four-cylinder that suits smaller and lighter riders, with a low seat and narrow frame making it easy to manage at low speeds. |
| Character | A classic Japanese inline-four sportbike with a revvy, high-pitched engine character and nimble, flickable handling typical of late-80s 400cc supersport machines. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders seeking strong low-end torque, long highway touring comfort, or two-up passenger capability. |
