Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to an experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, powerful, shaft-driven V4 that demands respect at speed.
PurposeBuilt as a 1980s sport tourer, it's meant for fast, confident cross-country riding rather than track days or commuting.
Rider FitAt nearly 290 kg the bike requires a rider with decent strength and confidence for slow-speed maneuvers, parking, and stop-and-go handling.
CharacterThe V4 engine and shaft drive give it a smooth, torquey, distinctive character with strong high-speed stability rather than flickable agility.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, nimble city runabout.
