Rider Profile
| Best For | Suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, tall machine; its weight and size make it a poor first bike. |
| Purpose | A dedicated long-distance sport-tourer built to cover big miles two-up with luggage, thanks to its low-maintenance shaft drive and huge 28.5L tank. |
| Rider Fit | Large, upright and roomy with a tall, generous seat, wide fairing and full weather protection; at 307kg wet it feels planted but hefty at a standstill. |
| Character | Smooth, torquey inline-four with relaxed shaft-drive power delivery; a stable, unflustered mile-eater that trades outright sharpness for cruising ease. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for novices, city commuters wanting a nimble bike, off-road use, or riders chasing track-day agility and razor-sharp handling. |
