Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a big-bore 1990s open-class superbike that demands a confident, experienced rider comfortable with strong power delivery and a firm chassis. |
| Purpose | Built primarily as an aggressive sport and occasional track-day machine that prioritizes speed and cornering performance over practicality. |
| Rider Fit | Its 800mm seat height and 215kg dry weight put moderate demands on rider strength and leg length, especially at low speeds or when maneuvering off the bike. |
| Character | It has the raw, visceral character typical of mid-90s in-line four superbikes, favoring direct feedback and hard-charging acceleration over refinement. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the right bike for new riders, those wanting plush long-distance comfort, or anyone seeking a relaxed daily commuter. |
