Rider Profile
| Best For | This machine demands an experienced, track-savvy rider comfortable with 200hp, aggressive geometry, and race-derived electronics. |
| Purpose | Built as a homologation-special superbike for circuit dominance and top-tier lap times, not everyday transport. |
| Rider Fit | Riders need a fit, athletic build to manage the committed, low, forward-leaning riding position and high-effort cornering loads. |
| Character | It suits riders who crave raw acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and full electronic sophistication over any form of practicality. |
| Not Ideal For | It is a poor choice for new riders, commuters, or anyone wanting comfort, luggage capacity, or a passenger-friendly setup. |
