Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, torquey naked bike rather than a total beginner.
PurposeIt's built as an all-round naked roadster, equally at home on daily commutes, weekend blasts, and moderate touring duties.
Rider FitAt 235 kg dry with a moderate 770 mm seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable strength and confidence at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterThe in-line four delivers smooth, linear power and a classic muscular UJM feel with strong midrange torque and solid, unhurried stability.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine or anyone planning off-road adventures.
