Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine best suited to experienced riders who can manage a heavy, powerful hyper-sport-tourer with authority. |
| Purpose | Built for effortless high-speed cruising and devouring long stretches of highway with occasional sporty riding thrown in. |
| Rider Fit | At 268 kg with a low 800 mm seat height it's manageable at a stop, but its bulk demands decent strength and confidence at low speeds and in traffic. |
| Character | A brutally fast, refined muscle-tourer that combines a huge four-cylinder engine with comfort-oriented ergonomics and long-distance capability. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for off-road use, tight urban commuting, or riders wanting a light, flickable machine for technical corners. |
