Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big, heavy, torque-laden triple best suited to experienced riders comfortable managing substantial mass and old-school handling manners.
PurposeBuilt as a muscular sport-touring naked of its era, it favors strong midrange thrust and high-speed stability over nimble city or trail use.
Rider FitAt around 247 kg the bike demands real physical strength and confidence at low speed, in traffic, and when maneuvering off the bike.
CharacterIt has a raw, mechanical, and characterful in-line three feel with a long-legged, muscular delivery typical of early 1980s Italian superbikes.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good match for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable, modern-feeling machine.
