Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to an intermediate or experienced rider comfortable with a heavier, shaft-driven V4 that rewards smooth inputs.
PurposeDesigned as a sport-touring machine, blending confident highway cruising with respectable cornering ability for its era.
Rider FitA moderately tall and substantial machine at 246 kg, it demands reasonable rider strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterThe liquid-cooled V4 gives smooth, characterful power delivery with a distinctive exhaust note, feeling more refined than typical inline-fours of its time.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for off-road riding, novice riders wary of weight, or anyone seeking sharp, lightweight track-focused handling.
