Rider Profile
| Best For | This machine suits an experienced rider who understands turbo lag and wants a taste of 1980s high-tech engineering rather than modern linear power delivery. |
| Purpose | It was built as a technological showcase and fast sport-tourer, blending straight-line speed with a general-purpose air-cooled chassis of its era. |
| Rider Fit | At 254 kg with a moderately upright sportbike stance, it demands a rider of reasonable strength and confidence to manage its weight and the abrupt turbo boost. |
| Character | It has a distinct dual personality, feeling like a regular air-cooled four below boost threshold and then surging hard once the turbo spools up. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or anyone wanting smooth, predictable, modern-feeling power delivery. |
