Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a high-revving, sharp-handling supersport machine. |
| Purpose | Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day performance, with the 636cc engine giving stronger midrange than a typical 600. |
| Rider Fit | Demands a committed, forward-leaning riding position with wrists and wrists bearing weight, which can tire riders on longer rides. |
| Character | A precise, revvy in-line four supersport that rewards aggressive throttle inputs and confident cornering lines. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting an upright, relaxed commuter or long-distance tourer, or for any off-road use. |
