Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits an experienced rider who can confidently manage a powerful, torquey engine and a bike with real presence. |
| Purpose | Built as a premium, exclusive allround roadster that blends strong performance with boutique engineering rather than pure touring or off-road use. |
| Rider Fit | At 224 kg dry with a 740-780mm adjustable seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable height and strength for confident low-speed handling. |
| Character | The unique VR6 turbocharged engine, premium Öhlins and Brembo components, and leather seat give this bike a rare, exotic, connoisseur's character rather than a mass-market feel. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the right choice for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or riders seeking a lightweight, budget-friendly commuter. |
