Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who have progressed past their first bike and want a torquey, characterful cruiser to grow into.
Purpose	Designed for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides where V4 character and classic cruiser styling matter more than outright track performance.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and cruiser ergonomics make it accessible to shorter riders, though the dry weight around 229 kg demands confident low-speed handling.
Character	A smooth, torque-rich V4 cruiser with a distinctive engine note that rewards relaxed, easy-going riding over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp sport-bike handling or serious off-road capability.
