Purpose	Built for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sport-bike engine performance with all-day touring practicality.
Rider Fit	A tallish, fairly heavy adventure-tourer that favors riders of average to above-average height and strength, especially when loaded with luggage and a passenger.
Character	A refined, electronically-sophisticated sport tourer that rewards a smooth, confident riding style and enjoys sweeping roads more than tight urban gymkhana.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for true off-road riders or shorter, lighter riders seeking a compact, lightweight commuter.
