Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, powerful mid-80s big-bore machine; not a beginner's bike. |
| Purpose | A do-it-all sport-tourer: fast open-road cruising, spirited backroad rides, and comfortable two-up mileage. |
| Rider Fit | Large, tall and heavy at 272kg wet with a roomy standard riding position; substantial to maneuver at low speed but stable at pace. |
| Character | Smooth, torquey liquid-cooled V4 with effortless high-speed grunt - a refined, muscular all-rounder from Honda's ambitious V4 era. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for novices, off-road use, tight-city commuting, or those wanting a light, flickable sportbike. |
