Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to intermediate and experienced riders; its weight and torque reward confident hands, though the linear power delivery is forgiving.
PurposeA classic universal Japanese sportster for spirited road riding, weekend blasts and light touring with occasional two-up duty.
Rider FitUpright standard ergonomics with a broad seat and roomy reach; a hefty 260kg makes it substantial at low speed but planted at pace.
CharacterA muscular air-cooled DOHC four with smooth, torquey pull and a stable, old-school big-bike feel; charismatic rather than razor-sharp.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road use, nervous novices intimidated by weight, or riders wanting modern flickable handling and cutting-edge braking.
