Rider Profile
| Best For | Ideal for beginners and learners; light, forgiving power and easy handling make it a superb first dual-sport or commuter. |
| Purpose | A lightweight air-cooled dual-sport for light trails, gravel and everyday town riding rather than serious sport or long highway trips. |
| Rider Fit | Tall 860mm seat and slim, upright ergonomics; very light at 126kg with long-travel suspension, but the height suits taller riders. |
| Character | Cheerful, frugal and unintimidating go-anywhere little single that thrives on back roads and dirt tracks. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for highway commuters, speed seekers or two-up touring; 11hp and a 58mph top speed limit any high-pace or loaded riding. |
