Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders comfortable with a tall, powerful, top-heavy machine on and off pavement.
PurposeBuilt as a hardcore adventure tourer, it excels at long-distance travel over rough terrain as much as paved roads.
Rider FitThe 905mm seat height and 207kg dry weight demand a taller rider with good strength for low-speed maneuvers and off-road recovery.
CharacterIt has a torquey, characterful V-twin growl paired with genuine dirt capability, rewarding a rider who enjoys standing on the pegs.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for shorter riders, beginners, or those wanting a plush, low-effort commuter or pure sportbike.
