Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a high-power, quick-steering naked with a light rear end and aggressive throttle response. |
| Purpose | Built for spirited street riding, canyon carving, and short blasts of pure adrenaline rather than covering long distances. |
| Rider Fit | Compact and light at 167 kg dry with a low-ish 810 mm seat, but the fat rear tyre and firm suspension demand active, engaged riding rather than relaxed cruising. |
| Character | A fierce, exotic-styled Italian street fighter that pairs a screaming triple-cylinder engine with razor-sharp handling and premium Brembo and Marzocchi/Sachs componentry. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting all-day comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any kind of off-road capability. |
