Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits riders who already have some experience and want a sporty V-twin that rewards confident throttle and brake control. |
| Purpose | It's built primarily for spirited road riding and weekend cornering rather than commuting or long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | The 930mm seat height and 215kg curb weight mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find it a bit of a stretch at stops. |
| Character | The 90-degree V-twin gives it a distinctive torquey pulse and sporty character quite different from typical four-cylinder sportbikes in its class. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not a good fit for off-road use, new riders wanting a light beginner bike, or anyone prioritizing plush comfort on long tours. |
