Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a heavy, powerful, shaft-driven four-cylinder classic best suited to experienced riders comfortable managing significant mass and old-school handling manners.
PurposeBuilt as a grand touring sport machine of its era, blending strong straight-line performance with long-distance shaft-drive durability rather than nimble city or off-road use.
Rider FitAt 255 kg the bike demands solid strength and confidence at low speed, parking, and in tight maneuvers, rewarding riders with good upper body strength and experience with heavier machines.
CharacterA charismatic, old-world Italian superbike with a muscular in-line four soundtrack and shaft-drive smoothness, prioritizing high-speed stability and presence over agility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, urban commuters wanting light and flickable handling, or anyone seeking off-road capability.
