Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who are comfortable managing a torquey, liquid-cooled four with real weight and a restricted (de-tuned) but still meaningful power output. |
| Purpose | Designed as a sport tourer, it aims to blend confident highway speed and stability with enough comfort for longer rides rather than outright track performance. |
| Rider Fit | At 257 kg with a fairly long wheelbase and a reach to the bars typical of early-90s sport tourers, it suits riders of average-to-tall height and reasonable strength for low-speed maneuvering. |
| Character | A smooth, torque-rich in-line four wrapped in a stable chassis gives this bike a composed, confidence-inspiring, all-round character rather than a sharp or aggressive one. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for new riders seeking a light, nimble first bike or for anyone wanting a dedicated off-road or track-focused machine. |
