Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine best suited to experienced riders who are already comfortable with strong power delivery and aggressive handling. |
| Purpose | Built as an open-class sportbike, it excels at fast road riding and track days where its power and chassis can be fully exploited. |
| Rider Fit | The committed riding position and firm suspension demand decent physical fitness and core strength, especially on longer rides. |
| Character | It has the character of a late-90s/early-2000s superbike icon: raw, visceral, and demanding respect from its rider. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not a good fit for new riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone seeking a relaxed touring or off-road companion. |
