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