Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who understand the sharp, high-strung nature of a supermoto-tuned single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive cornering, tight track days, and flicking through twisty roads rather than covering long distances.
Rider FitThe tall 915mm seat height and light 118kg dry weight demand confident, active riding rather than relaxed cruising posture.
CharacterA raw, punchy, big-bore single with razor-sharp handling that rewards precise, committed inputs.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting plush comfort, passenger accommodation, long-distance touring range, or serious off-road capability.
