Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced off-road riders who understand how to manage a light, punchy two-stroke motocross bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive motocross and GP-style off-road racing, not for street use or general commuting.
Rider FitWith only 106 kg to move around and no passenger accommodation, it rewards an active, fit rider who can stand, shift weight, and muscle the bike through rough terrain.
CharacterA raw, high-strung 1980s two-stroke race bike with sharp power delivery and razor-quick handling, demanding respect and skill.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suited for beginners, daily commuting, touring, or anyone seeking comfort and stability at speed on paved roads.
