Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for experienced riders who can manage a heavy, turbocharged 1980s superbike with old-school handling manners. |
| Purpose | Built as a high-speed straight-line flagship, showcasing turbo technology and raw power more than nimble cornering ability. |
| Rider Fit | At nearly 300kg with a long wheelbase and low compression turbo delivery, it demands strength and confidence, especially at low speeds and in traffic. |
| Character | A rare, brash exotic that rewards riders who enjoy dramatic turbo boost and thunderous inline-four power over modern refinement. |
| Not Ideal For | Not suited for off-road use, tight city commuting, or riders seeking light, flickable handling. |
