Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience, as the shaft-driven, air-cooled four has old-school manners and a substantial 220kg curb weight to manage at low speeds.
PurposeA classic naked all-rounder built for everyday road riding and relaxed weekend touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe upright naked riding position and moderate seat height make it accessible, though the bike's heft demands reasonable strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA smooth, understated in-line four with a shaft drive's low-maintenance charm, favoring steady, confident cruising over aggressive sport riding.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp modern handling, high-speed track performance, or any off-road capability.
