Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders comfortable with strong power delivery and a heavier open-class sportbike.
PurposeBuilt as a 1990s open-class superbike, blending big inline-four power with sport-touring versatility rather than pure track focus.
Rider FitA substantial 215kg dry weight and 800mm seat height demand reasonable rider strength and confidence at low speeds.
CharacterDelivers a muscular, high-revving inline-four character typical of the era's flagship Ninjas, with strong midrange and a fast top end.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for complete beginners or riders seeking a lightweight, nimble city commuter.
