Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with some prior experience who enjoy a revvy, high-strung V4 that rewards confident throttle and gear use.
Purpose	Built as an eighties sport bike for spirited backroad riding and short, fast blasts rather than covering long distances.
Rider Fit	A light, compact machine at around 206 kg that favors smaller to average-sized riders with an aggressive, forward-leaning stance.
Character	Has the exotic, high-revving V4 character and sharp handling that made Honda's mid-80s VF series a cult favorite among sport riding enthusiasts.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring capability, or any kind of off-road use.
