Rider Fit	The tall seat height and 255 kg weight demand reasonable rider height and strength, especially when maneuvering off-road or at low speeds.
Character	A rugged, go-anywhere V-twin adventure machine with a big fuel tank, reflecting the classic late-1980s Africa-style marathon enduro spirit.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp sport performance or a light, nimble city commuter.
