Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some experience, since the high-revving inline-four rewards confident throttle and gear use.
Purpose	A nimble sport-touring middleweight meant for spirited weekend rides and twisty roads rather than long-haul highway touring.
Rider Fit	Light weight and a compact chassis make it manageable for riders of average or smaller stature, though the sporty riding position can tire the wrists on long stints.
Character	Revvy, eager, and flickable, with a classic late-80s four-cylinder soundtrack and a sporty edge over pure tourers.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders wanting relaxed all-day touring comfort, heavy passenger use, or any off-road capability.
