Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a tall, heavy machine at low speeds and on twisty roads. |
| Purpose | Built for effortless long-distance sport touring, blending V4 power delivery with shaft-drive reliability and full weather protection. |
| Rider Fit | A tall seat height and substantial 326 kg weight mean shorter or less physically strong riders may find slow-speed maneuvers and parking challenging. |
| Character | A refined, confidence-inspiring grand tourer that prioritizes smooth, torquey performance and long-haul comfort over outright agility. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for off-road trails or tight urban commuting. |
