Rider Profile
| Best For | Well suited to intermediate riders who have outgrown a beginner bike but don't need a hyper-aggressive machine. |
| Purpose | A versatile sport-touring V-twin built for mixing weekend backroad rides with reasonably comfortable longer journeys. |
| Rider Fit | The 831mm seat height and moderate 208kg weight demand average-to-above-average inseam and some rider confidence at a stop. |
| Character | Delivers a torquey, characterful V-twin growl with sporty handling cues like an upside-down fork and twin front discs, without being a full-on racer. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for off-road adventures, novice riders wanting a light learner bike, or those chasing outright superbike performance. |
