Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a powerful, high-compression V-twin and premium suspension components that reward precise input. |
| Purpose | Built primarily as an exotic, low-volume sportbike for spirited road riding and track days rather than commuting or long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | Expect an aggressive, forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and firm suspension that demands decent fitness and wrist/back tolerance. |
| Character | A boutique Italian superbike with race-derived Ohlins suspension and a lattice steel frame, delivering visceral, characterful V-twin performance and premium exclusivity. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for beginners, tall touring riders seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a practical everyday or off-road capable machine. |
