Rider Profile
| Best For | Well suited to newer riders progressing past a beginner bike as well as experienced riders wanting a light, forgiving all-rounder. |
| Purpose | Designed as an accessible sport-styled middleweight that balances everyday usability with sporty handling rather than outright track performance. |
| Rider Fit | The low 790mm seat height and manageable 190kg wet weight make it easy for shorter or less physically strong riders to handle confidently. |
| Character | A friendly, torquey parallel twin wrapped in aggressive Ninja styling gives an approachable yet engaging riding experience. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for riders chasing top-tier superbike acceleration or serious off-road capability. |
