Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who understand high-revving small-bore inline fours and want to work the gearbox to extract performance.
PurposeA pure sport machine designed for spirited backroad riding and track days rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitIts light dry weight and compact dimensions make it easy to muscle around, though the low seat height and sporty ergonomics put more weight on the wrists during long stints.
CharacterA revvy, high-strung 400cc four-cylinder that rewards riders who like to keep the engine spinning near its top end to unlock its performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking long-distance comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or low-speed practicality in daily commuting.
