Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimension machine at low speeds and in traffic. |
| Purpose | Built for effortless, long-distance touring with maximum comfort rather than outright speed or sportiness. |
| Rider Fit | Its substantial 373kg wet weight and long wheelbase demand good upper-body strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds, though the low seat height and DCT gearbox ease the physical burden once moving. |
| Character | A refined, luxury grand-tourer character defined by its smooth flat-six engine, shaft drive, and plush long-haul comfort. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for riders seeking a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting or off-road adventure. |
