Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some prior motorcycling experience, given the tall enduro stance and the heft of a big-bore air-cooled twin.
PurposeDesigned as a large-capacity dual-purpose enduro machine for mixed on-road and light off-road adventuring rather than outright speed or paved-road performance.
Rider FitAt 206 kg with a tall 21-inch front wheel setup, it demands a rider of reasonable height and strength to manage at low speeds and off-road.
CharacterA rugged, characterful air-cooled twin with old-school enduro charm rather than modern refinement or outright power.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp track performance, modern sport-touring comfort, or effortless daily commuting.
