Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders comfortable with a tall, light, and highly reactive single-cylinder machine.
PurposeDesigned for sharp, flickable cornering and supermotard-style thrills on twisty tarmac with occasional light off-road use.
Rider FitThe tall 955mm seat height and lightweight 136kg dry chassis demand decent leg length and confidence balancing a top-heavy, narrow bike at low speeds.
CharacterA raw, punchy big-bore single that rewards aggressive, playful riding with immediate throttle response and razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting smooth long-distance touring comfort, a passenger-friendly setup, or high-speed motorway cruising.
