Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a race-bred superbike best suited to experienced riders who are confident managing over 200hp and aggressive throttle response. |
| Purpose | Built primarily for track days and high-speed sport riding, with road use very much a secondary consideration. |
| Rider Fit | Expect a committed, forward-leaning riding position with high pegs and low bars that puts significant weight on the wrists and demands good core strength. |
| Character | A razor-sharp, high-revving in-line four that rewards precise inputs and aggressive riding with blistering acceleration and pinpoint cornering ability. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up travel. |
