Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with sporty middleweights, though a confident newer rider could grow into it quickly.
PurposeDesigned as a sport tourer, it blends genuine CBR sportbike performance with the practicality needed for longer rides and everyday use.
Rider FitA moderate 805mm seat height and manageable 170kg dry weight make it approachable for most rider sizes without being intimidating.
CharacterIt rewards a smooth, revvy riding style with an eager in-line four engine and light, precise handling typical of Honda's sport touring lineage.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or a laid-back cruiser riding position.
