Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider who is comfortable with a heavy, torquey retro-styled naked machine.
PurposeIt's built for riders who want big-bore muscle-bike thrills with a retro Kawasaki styling twist, equally happy blasting backroads or cruising boulevards.
Rider FitAt 228 kg dry with a 790 mm seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable height and strength, especially at low speed or when maneuvering.
CharacterIt has a big-hearted, muscular in-line four character with strong midrange torque, a firm chassis, and old-school street-fighter attitude rather than razor-sharp modern agility.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for brand-new riders, or anyone wanting a lightweight commuter or a genuine off-road capable machine.
