Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable with a torquey, shaft-driven V-twin that behaves differently from typical inline-four sportbikes of its era.
PurposeBuilt as an early-90s air-cooled sport machine, blending Italian V-twin character with genuine high-speed sporting intent rather than outright track focus.
Rider FitA moderately heavy machine by sportbike standards, demanding a rider of reasonable strength and confidence at low speeds and when manhandling it off the stand.
CharacterCharismatic and mechanical in feel, with strong shaft-drive shaft-effect torque reaction and a distinctive V2 pulse that rewards a deliberate, smooth riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for absolute beginners or riders seeking modern razor-sharp agility, effortless commuting, or any form of off-road capability.
