Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-bore two-stroke sportbike suits newer riders or those wanting a lightweight, revvy machine to learn sharp throttle and cornering skills on.
PurposeIt was built as an affordable, lightweight sport bike for spirited riding on twisty roads rather than for outright speed or distance travel.
Rider FitIts light weight and compact dimensions make it easy to handle for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has the eager, high-strung character typical of a liquid-cooled two-stroke single, rewarding riders who keep the engine spinning in its peaky rev range.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good choice for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or serious off-road capability.
