Rider Profile
| Best For | This machine is strictly for expert-level, closed-course riders with serious track credentials, as it is not street legal and produces extreme, supercharger-fed power. |
| Purpose | Built purely for outright top speed and record-chasing track performance rather than any form of practical transportation. |
| Rider Fit | Demands a fit, strong rider capable of managing violent acceleration forces, a committed forward riding position, and a tall 831mm seat height. |
| Character | An uncompromising, adrenaline-driven hypersport weapon that rewards precision and punishes hesitation. |
| Not Ideal For | This bike is not for commuting, touring, carrying passengers, beginners, or anyone seeking comfort or everyday usability. |
