Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginners thanks to its low seat and smooth power, but its 87hp V4 keeps intermediate and experienced riders entertained too.
PurposeA power cruiser (the Magna) built for relaxed street riding, boulevard cruising and light touring, with surprising punch when you want it.
Rider FitLow 710mm seat and relaxed cruiser ergonomics make it easy to flat-foot, though the 229kg dry weight is noticeable at walking pace.
CharacterSilky liquid-cooled V4 gives a distinctive, refined character rare among cruisers - smooth, torquey and eager to rev beyond typical cruiser norms.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road use, track-day cornering enthusiasts, or riders wanting sportbike lean angles and lightweight flickability.
