Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a hyper-sport machine best suited to experienced riders who can respect its massive top-end power and considerable heft.
PurposeBuilt for high-speed highway blasts, drag-style acceleration, and long straight-road dominance rather than tight technical carving.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and long wheelbase demand confident, physically capable riders, especially at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic.
CharacterA big-bore, in-line four hyper-sport tourer that blends brutal straight-line speed with surprising comfort for a bike of its performance class.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight city streets.
