Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate-to-experienced riders who are comfortable with a high-revving, aggressive supersport engine and committed riding position. |
| Purpose | Built primarily for spirited cornering, track days, and fast road riding rather than utility or long-distance cruising. |
| Rider Fit | Demands a fit, athletic riding posture with weight on the wrists and knees bent sharply, which can tire out taller or less flexible riders over long stints. |
| Character | A sharp, high-revving 636cc four-cylinder sportbike with strong midrange thanks to the larger displacement, radial brakes, and a light, agile aluminium chassis that rewards an aggressive riding style. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for new riders, those seeking an upright comfortable commuter, or anyone planning frequent two-up touring or off-road use. |
