Rider Profile

Best ForA rider with at least some experience will appreciate this bike, as its shaft-driven V-twin and considerable weight demand a confident, deliberate riding style rather than aggressive input.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, long-distance sport-touring rather than outright speed or track work, with its shaft drive and torquey V2 engine favoring steady highway cruising.
Rider FitThe 235 kg curb weight and touring stance mean riders benefit from decent height and upper body strength for low-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterThis is a distinctive, understated machine for someone who values mechanical character and shaft-drive reliability over modern refinement or outright performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, offroad capability, or lightweight city nimbleness.
