Rider Profile

Best For	This machine suits an experienced rider comfortable managing turbo lag and a heavy, torque-surging powerplant unlike anything in a typical naturally aspirated bike of its era.
Purpose	It was built as a technological flagship grand tourer, blending shaft-drive touring comfort with a shot of turbocharged straight-line performance.
Rider Fit	At 263 kg it demands solid physical strength and confidence at low speed and when maneuvering it off its stand or through tight spaces.
Character	It has a quirky, engineering-showcase personality, delivering a smooth V-twin burble that suddenly wakes up into a turbocharged surge as boost comes on.
Not Ideal For	It is not the right choice for new riders or anyone seeking a light, playful bike for tight technical cornering or off-road use.
