Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a homologation-special superbike from the early 80s best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a heavy, powerful, analog machine that demands deliberate inputs.
PurposeBuilt as a limited-run endurance-racing homage, it rewards fast, sweeping road riding and occasional track use rather than commuting or off-road exploits.
Rider FitAt 259 kg with a tall first-gear-heavy air-cooled four, it requires solid strength and confidence at low speed and in stop-and-go maneuvering.
CharacterIt has the soul of a raw, muscular 1980s superbike: a big torquey inline-four, minimal rider aids, and a purposeful, café-racer-inspired stance.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, nimble commuter or plush long-distance tourer.
