Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience on mid-to-large displacement motorcycles due to its weight and power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as a sport tourer, it blends confident cross-country cruising ability with a genuinely sporty V4 engine character.
Rider FitAt 277 kg the bike demands reasonable strength and confidence at low speed and when maneuvering off the throttle.
CharacterThe liquid-cooled DOHC V4 gives a smooth, torquey, and distinctive engine note that rewards spirited riding without being intimidating.
Not Ideal ForNot a good choice for off-road use or for absolute beginners seeking a light, low-power first motorcycle.
