Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least intermediate experience who are comfortable managing a heavy, torquey air-cooled four with old-school handling manners.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring machine of its era, blending long-legged highway comfort with respectable four-cylinder performance for its time.
Rider FitAt 277 kg the bike demands a rider of reasonable strength and confidence for low-speed maneuvering, parking, and stop-and-go handling.
CharacterA classic early-80s UJM with a raw, mechanical four-cylinder character, air-cooled engine feel, and dual front discs giving it a purposeful, muscular road presence.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone seeking modern light-weight agility and electronic rider aids.
