| Purpose | Built almost purely for track-focused performance and high-speed cornering thrills rather than practicality. |
| Rider Fit | Expect an aggressive, committed forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and low bars that will strain wrists, neck, and back over any length of ride. |
| Character | A flamboyant, exclusive Italian exotic that rewards precision and skill with intoxicating speed and razor-edged handling. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not suited for new riders, daily commuting, passengers, long-distance touring, or anyone seeking comfort and practicality. |
