Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a peaky inline-four with strong top-end power. |
| Purpose | Designed as a sporty naked for spirited backroad riding, commuting, and occasional trackday fun rather than long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | The moderate 800mm seat height and light 173kg dry weight make it manageable for most rider sizes, though the reach to the bars is sporty and can tire taller riders on long stints. |
| Character | A revvy, high-strung inline-four with a sharp chassis that rewards aggressive riding and quick direction changes. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, wind protection, or a relaxed upright touring stance. |
