Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to riders with some prior experience, given its weight and old-school big-four power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as an early 1980s sport tourer, it favors sustained high-speed cruising and long-distance road covering over sharp track antics.
Rider FitAt 266 kg with a tall build and air-cooled inline-four heft, it demands a confident, physically capable rider especially at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic.
CharacterIt has the soulful, torquey character of a classic air-cooled four, rewarding smooth throttle inputs and long open-road stints rather than aggressive flick-to-flick riding.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders or anyone wanting a light, nimble machine for tight urban commuting or off-road use.
